Boy scout jungle adventure
76 x 61 cm (h x w)
Oil
My friend ask me to paint a portrait of her 2 year old boy. Inspired by the original photo where the boy was standing in a photo studio with some stuffed animal toys, I expanded the theme to have him as a Boy Scout in a jungle with real animals together with his dog. The painting style here was inspired by impressionists(shadow and light),Henry Rousseau(Jungle) and expressionist (the abstract pattern of the ground).
