Night at the Intersection
36 x 48 oil on canvas
When our kids were little, they used to build 3- to 4-foot snow people then set them in the middle of our quiet—but not totally quiet—side street. They’d sit behind the backyard fence and watch as cars came along. Most drivers would ease up, then… Would they slowly smush the little guy? Accelerate to ramming speed and explode it? It was always a pleasant surprise how many people would carefully drive around, presumably with a smile on their faces. Safety advocates might not recommend this pastime (Don’t try this at home, kids!), but it beats YouTube.
