This is a painting of a series I have recently created, dealing with the ‘beautiful game’ of Football, where players are actually team-colour-feathered birds.
I wanted to concentrate on the amusing aspects of this game, whose essence is in a ball and a group of friends having fun with it.
This one in particular represents a far away match and the whole family is reaching the venue. Hopes are very high of course…

Sport is or should be important in anyone’s life. For the little ones it’s just playtime, the joy to move and being with friends; the ball is just an excuse to have fun together.
