Count To Ten 2018

Zoe Hawk's 2018 painting, "Count To Ten," depicts a group of children playing a game of hide-and-seek in a backyard. The central figure, wearing a pink nightgown, is blindfolded and searching for her friends. The other children are expertly hidden, utilizing the shadows cast by the white picket fence and the surrounding bushes. The painting's realism and attention to detail bring to life the familiar childhood game and its playful suspense. "Count To Ten" is a captivating example of Hawk's ability to capture the fleeting moments of childhood innocence and imagination.
