“Where every brushstroke tells a story.”

Childhood has a way of magnifying the simplest joys. A broken-down swing set becomes a castle. A summer afternoon stretches into forever. And when it comes time to choose, there is always the thrill of getting the big slice.

In The Big Slice, Edward Wade captures one of those tender moments of childhood—an image so specific it becomes universal. A little girl sits contentedly on a weathered metal swing, a piece of watermelon so large it nearly hides her face. It’s not just fruit—it’s freedom, sweetness, and the unspoken hierarchy of childhood play: who gets which slice.

Through the softness of watercolor, Wade breathes life into this fleeting memory. The swing, though broken, carries a story of years gone by. The child’s determination, her delight, her focus—it invites you back to your own summers, where the smallest victories carried the greatest meaning.

Owning the big slice is more than collecting art—it’s collecting memory. It is the warmth of nostalgia made visible, a reminder that the beauty of life is often found in its quiet details. For the thoughtful collector, this piece is not only an heirloom of personal remembrance but also a work that celebrates individuality, joy, and the timeless rituals of growing up.

In a world that rushes forward, The Big Slice slows you down—offering you the sweetness of pause, the richness of memory, and the comfort of knowing that simple moments, when seen through the right eyes, become extraordinary.
