Critique 2
The water color painting “Determination” was created by a wonderful artist, Kenneth Gatewood. He grew up in LA with a large family, and memorable childhood. Gatewood works on positive images that reflects an evolution of continuous growth and is well known for his water color paintings. Also, he is praised for his “baby sport” paintings of infants as superstar athletes. His work “Determination” is unique and simple; simply spectacular. This painting contributes to youth at play, and determination to learn something new. The focal point of the young, innocent boy in his bare feet playing golf is very simple, but very deep. The field of a simple, washed out blue sky and green golf field are very appealing and original. The beautiful shades of blue and purple splashed on the page add to the bright piece. The soft texture in the different greens of the grass stands out. The sharpness of the outline of the boy shows his importance in the painting but then the softer colors of his skin and shirt show his innocence. His concentrated stance, but in a child like manner, shows the boys determination and growth, “Determination” by Kenneth Gatewood is an enjoyable, cute piece that ties together the simplicity of youth, and determination to grow and learn new things.
