Diamonds

The Capitalist  acrylic on canvas

This is a painting I did last summer at a painting party with some lovely ladies. I began the painting without any sort of plan, so first I created a textured background using a palette knife.  The texture began to look a little like a grassy field, so I added a small boy.  He was originally picking flowers but then I wanted him to be collecting something more unusual. Obviously, diamonds were what came to mind.
