In "Sweltering Sun," a mixed media painting by DB Waterman, the canvas bursts with vibrant hues of yellow, green, lemon yellow, light blue, black, sienna and rust, which come together to depict the pressing issue of climate change and its impact on cities. This large square depicts the scorching heat waves that have become an all too familiar consequence of global warming. Amid the relentless heat, the painting depicts a poignant scene of children seeking cooling in the coolness of city fountains.
A group of children, rendered in dark silhouettes, run, laugh and play around a city fountain. Their carefree spirit creates a powerful juxtaposition of innocence against the harsh reality of climate change.
The fountain, symbolizes an urban oasis - a small refuge where the young people find solace against the scorching temperatures. The water evokes a sense of relief. The children and the dynamic water play convey the essence of youthful joy in its simplest form.
The painting serves as a reminder of the urgency needed to address this critical issue and protect future generations from the relentless effects of climate change.
"Sweltering Sun: Children in the Heatwave" is both a visually captivating work and a call to action. DB Waterman's mixed media painting attempts to bring out a complex range of emotions, ranging from concern to hope, and aims to make viewers think about the importance of protecting our environment for the sake of our children and future generations. Through this evocative artwork, we are urged to take collective responsibility and action to combat climate change so that our cities can remain true oases of safety and comfort for all who live there.

Presentation
Mixed media / collage artist. I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces.
I believe my body of work is characterized by my skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation."
My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
