Four Balls Deflating

Our house is breeding balls. Big bouncy ones, little squeaky ones, balls for toddler-scale bowling, golf, tennis, soccer, basketball, and football, balls for the beach, balls for the yard, balls that light up, balls that squish underfoot, hollow balls to fill with sand, and balls with holes to sink in the tub. I'm fascinated by the repetition of spheres throughout our house - one simple shape endlessly rendered. I'm especially attracted to those balls with charming little imperfections or showing the most age and use, such as the balls I selected for Four Balls Deflating, oil/panel, 16" x 20."
