Long Shadows
Acrylic on linen covered wood panel.
The subject of the painting is the artist’s grandson, Jacob at the end of a long walk. Although the sun was setting, Jake was not ready to return home. In a pause at the school yard, the fixed glimpse of a small boy on the outside of a fence amid the day’s lengthening shadows brought to mind in an instance unbidden thoughts of threats and barriers that must be encontered by a young life unfolding. The lingering ghost of those unwanted thoughts gave rise to this painting.
Long Shadows belongs to the following groups:

This takes a page from old family photo albums and transports it to today. Beautifully and simply composed. I love the warmth of this.

Brilliant colours Thomas and fine work. I love the “alive” feeling you’s be able to convey with Acrylics, I must say I struggle with that, mine always die in colour (darken) somehow? Great work

Damn that’s good it has the air of threat with the shadows and subject together sometimes when you read the comments these artists make in this site you really are left with the impression that they are talking a load of manure but your not, really nice stuff and I am a fan.

what a wonderful work of art and it really upholds the story behind it, although you dont have to have words to know what this is all about :) wonderful setting sunlight.
