Wonder of Childhood Collection - "Day Dreamer" by Donald Zolan. Sixth and Final plate in this series. Pemberton & Oakes, 1984. Plate size approx 8.5 inches. Suggested retail $85.00
Children are great at creating little worlds. They drape sheets over chairs to make houses, push furniture together to make tunnels. A table becomes a fort, a sofa a mountain, an empty box a boat. Chair legs become trees in a forest.
I wanted to capture this imaginative quality of children. That's why I painted this little girl named Lauren asleep inside a hula hoop.
A minute or two ago she was busy trying to make the hoop behave. She got tired, gave up, and just turned the hula hoop into a bed. She's gone straight from her play world to her dream world.
She's a charming example of how kids can sleep just about anywhere when they're tired. Here she is curled up inside her hoop in a position that's comfortable for her but impossible for an adult. She's probably gone from being a busy heaver to a little sleeping angel in less than a minute.
All she needs is a pillow, her thumb, a good dose of imagination, and she's sound asleep in her make-believe bed.
To focus on Lauren I only painted her and the hoop. I added lots of sunny gold to keep her looking warm and comfortable while she takes her catnap.
In a few minutes she may wake up. rub her eyes and enjoy a couple of big yawns. Then she may turn her hoop into a playground for her stuffed animals or a lake for her toy boats. This little girl will never run out of ideas.
