"Father"...
...He signs "Father" in American Sign Language (ASL) - that's who he is. He is a father, dad, daddy, or grandpa maybe... the "Father Figure." In American Sign Language, many male signs are portrayed on the forehead, in contrast to female signs that are made on the chin. I also have a painting for "American Sign Language Mother" in my gallery. Both of these parent paintings show a slightly larger hand touching the face. Why? Because being a parent is an huge job! The size of the hand also lends itself to the modern/pop art feeling, as if the hand comes first, and then the face. As the artist, this was my choice to do, showing the importance of the job of a parent by the focus on the hand that carries the message. Placement on the head simply tells the viewer if the parent is the mother or - as it is here - the father.
...............................................................................................................................
This painting is mixed media and incorporates a variety of artist tools. The colors are bright and happy. Overall, the piece is somewhat modern, perhaps post-modern. As wall art, it would fit motifs that are contemporary, even pop. The design in clean and fresh. Notice that his eyebrow is formed by the word "Father." (The same is true of the painting for "Mother." The word is spelled out in the curls of her hair.)
