Piece description from the artist
This piece of artwork was inspired by young children laughing and playing outside, riding tricycles and running around. In the background there are mothers talking, birds singing, tricycle bells ringing and the sound of the tires on the pavement. This whimsical painting captures these lighthearted pleasant moments and the moving mechanical parts of the tricycle brought to life with brilliant color. Bold green, inspired by a freshly cut well kept lawn and bright pink paint on the tricycle take over the canvas.
