Summer Street Fun


Cooling off and splashing around at an open fire hydrant is a summertime phenomenon in New York City. I was inspired to create this piece after seeing some children playing at an outdoor sprinkler in Morningside Park. I painted the sky with gouache paint and cut out the scene with gouache painted and color aid paper.

    I remember scenes like this from my childhood in the Bronx. You've really capture the sheer joy of children playing in the water - you can almost hear them laughing and see them jumping! The colors and shapes are wonderful - vibrant and joyous.
