About this work
A boy in a maroon jacket and blue scarf sits on bare ground, legs stretched out, holding a small stick and looking down. Beside him an orange-furred dog with pricked ears sits watching the horizon, and a striped diamond kite lies flat at their feet, its string trailing away. Behind them a pale winter field stretches to bare trees and a distant pink house.
The palette stays almost monochrome - chalky whites, greys and faint pinks - broken only by the boy's muted red jacket and the dog's warm ochre coat. Soft, hazy light and thin, dry brushwork blur the horizon, creating a still mood of patient anticipation.
