Fat Cats IV: Touchdown?!

One of the things I like about this work is that we will never know the outcome - it will always hang in the balance. Will the player with the ball score a touchdown? Or will he experience a touchdown of another sort?

I've always thought this picture - along with others I've painted - would do well as art in an office lobby... a doctor's or dentist's waiting room...on the walls of a restaurant...or in a private dining room at home where a good conversation piece is needed. This is a painting to amuse people and get them laughing and talking.

I've used a lot of strong primary colors in this work, as I believe the use of color is important in everyday life, especially if people are selecting neutral colors for their furnishings and wall coverings. Of my other Fat Cats series, one is in a private collection and another may be in an upcoming show at a different location.

You can view this work at the Bezpala Brown Gallery in Toronto for two days only, February 26 and 27, 2011. Bezpala Brown's location is 17 Church Street near Front Street East and gallery hours are 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. 416/907-6875. This is a group show so there will be many other artists displaying their work.
