Adding a little life to my paintings

I’ve decided that I need to add a little life to my work.

I think we all procrastinate sometimes, whether it’s trying to stay healthy, paying bills on time, or taking care of our homes. This man chooses to water his lawn and ignores what truly needs to be done.
This is a painting I finished quite a few years ago but was never satisfied with the result. I feel like it was missing something. I hope that your attention was caught by the toy. The toy car signifies the presence of children, whether you are driving or simply passing by. You are likely searching for the children. Where are they? I leave it up to you to fill in the blank.

    I love your work! Especially your use of light and shadow. It makes you feel like you’re there. And now, adding life – wonderful.
