Kyler the MVP

Dan Carpenter

A joyful and bright portrait of Kyler as a young toddler, sitting on his grandmother's kitchen counter. He has short brown hair and a wide, excited expression with his mouth open in mid-chatter. He is wearing a dark blue sweatshirt packed with colorful patches, including a yellow lightning bolt, a star, and the words BOOM and MVP. The bright yellow backsplash and light wood cabinets of the kitchen provide a warm, domestic background. Kyler is holding a fork in his small hand, ready for a meal, capturing a sweet and candid moment of childhood curiosity and happiness.


Behind the Canvas:
This acrylic on canvas painting captures the artist's grandson in a domestic setting. The work focuses on the vivid primary colors of the toddler's clothing and the sharp, graphic nature of the patches, which contrast with the soft, neutral tones of the kitchen cabinetry. The lighting is high-key and cheerful, emphasizing the spontaneous and candid nature of the reference photo.
