Before the doctor's door

This intriguing oil painting captures a young boy dressed in a vibrant blue sports outfit, standing with his back turned in a hallway that evokes a sense of curiosity and anticipation. The child’s hoodie prominently displays the number '35', while his shorts add a playful touch to the composition. The scene is set against a backdrop of soft pastel-toned walls and floor tiles, enhancing the mood of innocence and youthful energy. A red door in the background subtly draws the viewer's attention, contrasting beautifully with the tranquil greens and blues, and hints at the story waiting to unfold beyond the threshold. The careful detailing of the boy’s posture and attire invites viewers to ponder the boy’s thoughts and feelings, making this artwork deeply engaging and relatable.
This painting can serve as a captivating focal point in various interior settings. It would be perfect for children's rooms, adding a playful and vibrant touch to the decor. Additionally, it could enhance the atmosphere of a family living room or a cozy den, bringing warmth and a sense of nostalgia. As a piece that sparks conversation, it would also be suitable for creative spaces such as art studios or cafes, where imagination and creativity are encouraged.

Oil on linen 29x50x2cm (11.4x19.7x0.8in) 2017, ready to hang. This painting comes from a picture that my brother took to his son Andrea. It shows him outside the doctor's studio just before entering. I appreciated much the timing of the picture because it shows perfectly the feelings of a young boy waiting for his visit. I made an oil on linen painting out of it, making some changes to the colours and adding a couple of elements to give a personal touch to the artwork.
