Children allow us to vicariously see farther into the future than we are able to ourselves. Similarly, the Bible (Psalms 127:3-5) likens children to arrows...able to go farther than we are. "Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them."
I took the reference photo for this painting at a pro-bass fishing competition that I happened upon one day in Ottertail County, MN.
This piece was painted with a limited palette of Burnt Sienna (PR101), Permanent Lemon Yellow (PY184), Ultramarine Blue (PB29), and Titanium White (PW6).
