The self-satisfaction that you are witnessing is that of an artist who has just completed his first work of art. When asked to comment about his inspiration, the artist declined to comment (but did seek more avocado pieces and a little cheese).
Sophisticated connisseurs will note that although it is, in essence, a subdued and abstract work, it maintains a starkly vibrant point of view. We believe it evokes the longing for freedom (perhaps from the high chair) and yet also captures the frenetic pace of the quotidian life of an Everyman.
The inspiration: Developing fine motor skills (thanks for the idea Aunt Mary Ann).
As you can see, the artist believes in getting up close and personal with his art. Luckily, with a little soap and water and all evidence is gone.
This is the first piece of his first gallery showing. It is untitled. Due to the request of the artist, this item will not be for sale.
OOOPPS Shouldn't that date be 1/7/2010.
