Watching the Parade
McMinnville, Oregon has a UFO Fest every year. I snapped the reference photo for this oil painting at the 2025 celebration last week. I'm probably going to let it dry for a bit now and do some light glazing later on.

This is lovely. The little girl looking so alien and so passive yet confused herself behind what could be a police tape, that you question her reality. She's seemingly alone, yet rather tahn feeling sadness or melancholy she is drawn to the spectacle of some curiousity beyond the line. She is the alien here, and yet she is living embodiment of every human child
Thank you! I love your response!
It's a beautiful composition, the little girl herself looks so young and old at the same time. Her face particularly has this aged expression that makes you wonder of her origins
You said this so well that I shared your comment with my followers on Mastodon and Bluesky. If that's not okay with you, I'll delete them.
feel free!
Thanks so much!
I love this! Totally agree with @[email protected], the feeling of alienation here is fantastic and works on so many levels.
Alienation is a good word, thank you!
