I did a two versions of this.  It never sold either way. I was interested in trying my hand at water and metal.  It was from a photo in a magazine.  The baby had a fever. It was in a refugee camp somewhere during some war or famine or disaster and it was jst another woman with a sick baby doing what she could for it... with three kids I had some time with that.  There is a sort of duality that arises, or perhaps it is how the heart and mind compromise what needs to be done regardless of fear or panic and the enormous responsibility of it...there is a sort of stillness, not of peace but of dreadful resolve and at the same time a crazy inner dialogue of all you will swear to if only the child will get better.

She paints in egg tempra for great effect. Her paintings glow. She is a lovely person too.

King painted what I like to call "Hyper Realism". In the corner the little bowl is subject of one of his paintings.  (The Grapes for example were a subject in the painting of March Gregoroff that I posted yesterday.)

In truth I think of him as a colourist, and he has broken out of the realism yoke and is now painting the human form with stunning results. He is a gifted paintier. Seriously.
