Mom's Painting

 

'Smoke'

Mixed Media (Primarily Oil on Board); 2010
36' x 36'

 Text from T.S.Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

This work was constructed with my mother at heart. I used T.S.Eliot's poem 'The Lovesong of J.Alfred Prufrock' because it is one of her favorite poems, and the application of paint is reminiscent of "the smoke that slides along the street," representing the passage of time. This is one of my favorite pieces and has a permanent place in our home.
