Pony for My Birthday

This painting features an animatronic horse commonly found outside of a grocery store in the 60s.
As child, all I wanted was a pony for my birthday. Every birthday for several years I wanted my very own pony. As a child I have no idea about taking care of a living animal or the other responsibilities needed to maintain a horse, but as a child you don't care about that. However, the closest I could get to having a horse was asking my mom for a quarter and riding the horse at the store while she checked-out with the cashier. I imagined riding my pony through green fields and jumping white picket fences. The wind in my hair, just galloping in freedom with my horse.
This painting is about the longing for something, and accepting the next best thing to achieve that dream until you get there. Finally after 8 years, my dad bought me riding lessons out in the suburbs of Chicago. I continued to horse back-ride well into my 30's.
Our NEW LIFE series is a take on growing up in the '60s and '70s. People are already saying it is "fun and happy" bright powerful colors are rich and invite you into our world.

Tennis is a true inspiration for me! From playing to watching. But while recently researching my old tennis shoes... Dunlop Green Flashes. I realized an extrodiary woman who wore them well before me. Christine Truman played Wimbledon Ladies Singles in 1957. She did win a grand slam at French Open in 1959
This is an excerpt from The Guardian (my research source) I cried after I read this...
Truman was the fifth of six tennis-playing children. She played mixed doubles at Wimbledon with her brother Humphrey, and her sister Nell was runner-up in the French Open doubles in 1972. Truman had to fight hard to get court time. At nine years old, her first tennis lesson was given to her after an older sister, Isabel, fell sick. “I was so happy,” she laughs.
In those days, there was no agent and no expectation of remuneration. When a BBC producer rang their home to ask if Christine would appear in the panel game Children’s Hour, hosted by Richard Dimbleby, for £3 and 10 shillings, her mother misunderstood the offer: “Certainly not! We cannot afford that sort of money for Christine to appear on television.” For sponsorship, Slazenger agreed to supply Christine with two rackets a year, and Dunlop provided two pairs of Green Flash tennis shoes.
Truman made her Wimbledon debut in 1957 at age 16 and reached the semi-finals, where she lost to Althea Gibson.
Now that is an inspiration!

"Tennis Court"
This original painting is currently on display at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans. This art exhibition runs through January 2023. The painting is owned by a private collector and is gracious on loan for this exhibition.
The painting features three girls having completed their tennis matches. The middle girl has won a trophy.
One after school activity I was in for many years was tennis. In my childhood, tennis camps like these would have a program at the end of the season to have all the kids compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and receive small shelf trophies. In this painting I wanted to highlight the importance of the trophy as a kid, it felt bigger and more rewarding. I wanted all the imagery to be fuzzy like remembering a memory because thats all I can do it remember the last time I remembered.
