Finished this yesterday.

Golden Child, 2025. Oil on birch panel, 20 x 20 inches.

There’s a story behind this one, for sure. I love the bold graphic shapes and being able to see the wood panel. The small details must be meaningful too - the pens in the pocket and the cigarettes. Very cool piece, Ayin!

Thank you very much, Donna. I appreciate that.

Oh wow…I love this one and might be one of my favorites of your snapshot series. SO good. I like the simplicity of the whole composition but the complex wall pattern adds just the right amount of “noise.” I like what seems to be - at first glance - a loving portrait of a father and his son/sun. But the blood, cigs, and horns say…”whoops, there’s more here than meets the eye.” Even the metal contraption thing under the lazy boy recliner chair suggests something unstable.

In my opinion, a painting with a nice balance of tension is simply satisfying. Like this one. I don’t understand why that is or how it happens but in any case…

Golf Clap!
