Description "Seek The Wisdom of the Ages But Look at the World Through the Eyes of a Child" quote by Ron White.
In This oil painting there is one adult hand. People seem to forget that a child is a "whole" person and should be treated as such. A child is a person that doesn't carry the heavy baggage of this world.
He is seeing through to the magic place the world once was for us. He can peek into the future but for some reason we can only see the past. I notice that the more mature an artist's art gets, the more they regress into their original art as a child. Kind of a 360.
Anyhow My neighbor Adrian Hess drew this picture in markers and because I copied it into a painting of him with his original art- he asked me about copyright. Smart kid.

Excellent concept and execution. The idea of the adult hand is quite inspired, and I really like all of the little kid drawings too. They are very imaginative.

Its lovely art and a great concept I think too.
I loved what you said about it and yes look upon the world in wonder as in the eye of a child...I guess thats true too we live in the past and yearn for our childhood.

Thanks! I was thinking people have kids in an attempt to relive their childhoods but then they don't have any time to make art

I absolutely love the painting and cant agree more with you...''A child is a person that doesn't carry the heavy baggage of this world. ''
