This is one of the latest paintings I have been working on this year from my "Urchins and Waifs' series.,...as you can see it is inspired by living here in the Southwest with all the cowboy hats etc. but actually it has pretty much nothing to do with the Southwest other than the hat. The series is about children who look at their surroundings with an honest eye and wonder what is going on in their world, so many questions with dishonest answers.
