Hi There!
Is it just me, or have you also experienced the sensation of looking into your child's toy-box and noticing what an eclectic mix it is of all things plastic, bright and techni-colour? I wonder if you've then taken it a step further and pondered how whilst the box may very well be a jumbled mess of bits and pieces, it is also a time-capsule of childhood memories, imagination and fun?
Well, I have.
So much so, I thought I'd give it a go and paint it.
I honestly have no idea if I have bitten off more than I can chew at this point, artistically speaking. I've got quite a way to go yet, as this artwork, being so detailed is requiring a lot of time and effort to paint. I think it's taken me around five hours just to get it to this point. And I can see it taking many more hours of work, all the while crossing my fingers that I don't muck it up. <sigh>
Whilst painting this artwork may be one of my trickier and time-consuming endeavours of late, I must say I am finding this a rather fun experience, possibly because my children are enjoying watching me paint it. I asked them today their favourite toys to feature so far in the artwork and I can tell you I've had one vote for the car, one vote for the elephant and one vote for the lego man. I wonder what some sort of an analyst would make of that? ;-)
As I continue painting, I'll continue to wonder whether *your* favourite toy will feature here, bringing back memories of a childhood past.
Stay tuned to see what other toys I reveal in my next post later this week...
