Kari Segal-Allgire painted this a few years ago. It is a huge painting which sets the tone in the dining room at our community center for children at risk in Romania. She had some of the kids model and the buildings in the background refer to very typical communist style housing still dominating the city scape. Kari and I exhibited paintings together in some local galleries and at that time she was using drawings of kids and interpreting them with intuitively derived radiant colors. She has more recent work up at her site, K. Segal's Blog. Her present work, while it has developed still carries the weight of the poverty she struggled with among the poor in her time in Romania.
