About this work
A boy in a blue jacket is seen from behind, sitting on a grassy hillock with a dog at his side, both facing away toward a pale, overcast sky. He holds a small pinwheel in one hand while a diamond-shaped kite lies unflown on the grass beside him, its strings trailing down the slope. The hill is dotted loosely with small flowers and grasses rendered in soft patches of color.
The watercolor is built from thin, translucent washes in muted blues, greens and browns, with soft, blurred edges throughout and almost no sky detail beyond faint grey clouds. The loose, damp technique and pale, even light give the scene a quiet, patient calm, matching a moment of simply waiting for enough wind to fly the kite.
