"Boys", acrylic and metallics on canvas.
Could be a tribute to boys or just the winged pony pegasus. When painting this I was the most thrilled with the idea of painting my first pegasus; my ultimate fantasy pet! (duh!, I'm a girl). I think If I had a real pegasus we would be more like equals than pet and master (supplier of food and other things pegasus' enjoy). Anywho, I found the book cover at the ASU library with the title 'Boys' and simply like the color and text so much that I encorporated it into this piece.
One may see it as an interpretation of boys as angels. But, I just thought the pegasus was rad. Boys was an afterthought. But all and all, they both came together well. My idea for the soft, edgy metallic pony could not have contrasted yet fused more perfectly with the blue hues of the abstract color field in the background.
