This is the seventh painting in the series about Foreigners Everywhere.
I heard this man and his son having this conversation! The Man looked at me as soon as I walked past them and we grinned at each other. This is not where the story ends!
So the gentleman enquired, 'Are you not coming to the party, I just said, 'No, I get bored'.
He was surprised and said, 'my wife went out in the afternoon and purchased a dress for herself and our daughter!'
I'm still listening, his wife heard our conversation and hurried out and told me in a justifying tone, all my friends have seen all my dresses, if I buy a dress for myself will my daughter let me get away without buying her a dress? I gave a nod of agreement to the lady and said, 'Bro is generous why would you not buy a dress'?
Why I did this painting?
Well, I wonder if women will ever catch up to men in this regard. A man inspires his son to be carefree about his appearance by being so cool in any outfit. Must a dress be well-fitting or should it always be brand-new? Women are competing with one another to flaunt their appearance like celebrities, which is a big deal for them.
It also makes me wonder if young girls are being taught to set high, time-consuming standards. The idea of self-approval is absent, people are afraid to defy the established norm, and even children are being taught incorrect standards of self-worth!
So are we teaching the kids the right way to approach an issue or just training them to give in to the false standards of social influence.
A viewer without any of this background story would be amused looking at the painting because the man is ready with his son and the wife and daughter are still busy with one last glimpse in the mirror.
The painting has small motifs and elements supporting the central theme. Children enjoy and can be kept fairly entertained with board games like 'snake and ladder'.
Fun fact: Here the store manager in kids wear section would always suggest for a new born baby, buy a dress of one year old! That said heads up if you wore oversized dress or shoes as a child! Parents take advantage of the innocence so much!
Artist: Geeta Yerra Work: Original Oil Painting, One of a Kind Medium: WN artists’ oil paints on stretched linen canvas Year: 2024 Style: Abstract figurative, Contemporary Concept art Size: 36 X 48 X .8 in
The painting has layers of color and I like this style of creating a story with a mixture of abstraction and figuration. Layers of paint are applied with the glazing technique to get the desired effect.
You will receive it unframed and need to re-stretch it on wooden bars to make it ready to hang. The edges are painted, varnished and it comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. The signature is at the front left bottom.
