Golden Moment

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

Saints win! Super Bowl XLIV was full of highlights! But the one that stands out in my mind, by far, is when Drew Brees held his barely one year old son, Baylen, amid the hullabaloo of the commentators and roaring crowd. There was wonder in little Baylen's eyes. Drew's eyes showered wonderment and love upon his boy. It just doesn't get any better than that, folks!

  5. You are masterful in capturing emotion Dean. I think an artist needs to be able to be very empathetic and skilled with his art to be able to do this.

  10. You're right Clair, it was the best moment of the Superbowl (especially if you are female like me and not a big fan of a game.)

  15. As I was planning a comment, Liz has said it already....lovely moment. You are a real artist by looking around even during a great sporting moment, Dean! I also appreciate the care with which you choose your lovely quotes from Scripture, they blend in well with the paintings!
