Chicken Boy

Some more art to share with you.  This painting explores themes from my childhood.  I have painted my brother and one of our chickens.  The beer bottle, life jacket and baby are references to alcoholism that runs in my family.  I was reading some Julia Cameron the other day, and she was describing how in her writing at one point she was reconciling her divorce, unconsciously.  I think that is what I do with my art much of the time, reconciling my childhood and and the family I was raised in.
