Childhood

Childhood, Still Life
Childhood
I received the childhood items in this oil painting with the explanation that these were worth saving. The delicate ruffles of the dotted Swiss fabric in the baby blue color coupled with the book and blocks shows the juxtaposition of traditional feminine and male qualities of a bygone era illustrated by the 1968 polaroid photo of me wearing that dress. The well loved pink bear adds another element of that time in a person's life. My hope is that viewing Childhood will spark a favorable past memory.
