Star Lot: Joyce Roybal (British, b.1955). An original Joyce Roybal oil on canvas painting. Features one of Roybal's iconic character studies commonly called 'Puffy People' of whimsical children playing musical instruments. Rendered in a vibrant colour palette with scratch detailing to the canvas which gives texture to the children's hair and clothes. Signed lower left. Roybal's work has been offered at auction multiple times with similar works fetching $400 at auction.

Artist, Joyce Roybal, sometimes listed as J. or James, memorializes the naive purity of childhood by painting whimsical children playing musical instruments or participating in sports. His character studies are commonly called Puffy People, and they're reminiscent of the work of Bolivian painter, Graciela Rodo Boulanger, a possible inspiration to Roybal when he was 18.
