This image is representative of the artist's interest in creating from his subconscious. The subject matter is a result of laying out several colored ink shapes onto a sheet of bristol board. Then, the artist draws over the ink with colored pencil, letting the shapes dictate the form the image will eventually take. Without a premeditated vision, the image is created through the element of surprise.  And what a surprise we have...a precocious boy full of life and joy.  Truly delightful!
