Below is the inspiration for this work of art titled "Childhood". I have a little miniature dachshund named Oliver. He might be small in size but, like me, he has a HUGE personality!!! As you can see, he is a bundle of joy and never ceases to be a source of joy and laughter. Oliver has already posed for his portrait, so here I decided to do a still life with objects capturing the playful environment in my kitchen. On the lower left you can see a little plant on a wooden horse that I use as a plant stand. To me, this playful painting represents the joy and innocence of childhood.
