Loading... Please wait...As a child born into the baby boom era, I grew up amongst large families in a more innocent time. Mothers told their kids to go out and play, don't come home until dinnertime. Children had a lot of oppurtunity to be creative and get in and out of possible dangerous situations by their own wit. It was a fabulous time to be a child! The personalities of the neighborhood kids have stayed with me, especially the bullies and the adventurish ones. This painting was inspired by those beings.
