It Must Be Love
Size:33 x 43 in.
This charming original oil painting titled "It Must Be Love" by Keith Proctor measures 20" x 30" inches and captures a beautiful, innocent moment. The artwork features a young child standing barefoot, stretching up as far as he can to paint a large red heart on a blank wall. With his small figure dressed in a bright yellow top and blue pants, the child embodies innocence, creativity, and spontaneity, which are common themes in Proctor's work.
Keith Proctor has been painting for over three decades, having evolved from watercolors and pastels to oils. His father’s advice to “break lines up when you sketch and paint – make your marks interesting” still resonates in his work today, as seen in his bold, confident brushstrokes and vibrant use of color. Keith’s painting process begins with a charcoal sketch on a pre-colored canvas, focusing on balance and composition. He works quickly with a limited palette of five colors, adding energy and life to each piece.
This particular painting, like many of his works, is inspired by his youngest son, Jack, and conveys the artist’s deep appreciation for the natural, instinctive behavior of children. The simple joy and love expressed by the child’s act of painting a heart on the wall highlights the beauty in everyday moments, which Keith captures with great skill and affection.
In "It Must Be Love", Proctor invites the viewer to step into a world of pure emotion, capturing a fleeting moment of creativity and love from the perspective of a child, emphasizing the significance of such simple and joyful experiences. The painting’s endearing and heartwarming scene will evoke a sense of nostalgia and tenderness in the hearts of all who see it.
