In "Sweltering Sun," a mixed media painting by DB Waterman, the canvas bursts with vibrant hues of yellow, green, lemon yellow, light blue, black, sienna and rust, which come together to depict the pressing issue of climate change and its impact on cities. This large square depicts the scorching heat waves that have become an all too familiar consequence of global warming. Amid the relentless heat, the painting depicts a poignant scene of children seeking cooling in the coolness of city fountains. A group of children, rendered in dark silhouettes, run, laugh and play around a city fountain. Their carefree spirit creates a powerful juxtaposition of innocence against the harsh reality of climate change. The fountain, symbolizes an urban oasis - a small refuge where the young people find solace against the scorching temperatures. The water evokes a sense of relief. The children and the dynamic water play convey the essence of youthful joy in its simplest form. The painting serves as a reminder of the urgency needed to address this critical issue and protect future generations from the relentless effects of climate change. "Sweltering Sun: Children in the Heatwave" is both a visually captivating work and a call to action. DB Waterman's mixed media painting attempts to bring out a complex range of emotions, ranging from concern to hope, and aims to make viewers think about the importance of protecting our environment for the sake of our children and future generations. Through this evocative artwork, we are urged to take collective responsibility and action to combat climate change so that our cities can remain true oases of safety and comfort for all who live there.

My artistic journey unfolds through a vibrant tapestry of materials. I weave together original photography, various papers, the richness of acrylic paint and ink with the expressive lines of pastel chalk and pencil. This diverse palette allows me to bring my vision to life, with each work being a unique exploration of texture and form. The finished mixed media/collages reveal the painstaking process that lies beneath the surface. Each layer, carefully chosen and carefully placed, becomes an integral part of the final artwork, a testament to the dedication and meticulous preparation that went into each piece. My artistic passion lies in the power of reinvention, in the ability to find unexpected beauty in the world around me. Inspired by weathered walls adorned with peeling paint and faded posters, I strive to revive and transform this aesthetic with a critical artistic eye. My ultimate goal is to capture the essence of making something beautiful out of decay, a feeling reflected in every piece of art I create. These artworks, intricate scenes born from the fusion of old and new, explore the captivating contrast between the old and the new. Each element, seamlessly woven together, contributes to the creation of dreamy and evocative images, inviting the viewer to join me on a journey of wonder and contemplation.
