16″ x 20″ – Acrylics [2011]
When I was almost two, I fractured my skull and spent two months in the hospital. They made me wear a strait-jacket. I dealt with it by singing and my favorite song was The Trolley Song: “Clang, clang clang went the trolley!” I love the spirit I had that made the best of the situation!
Clang!

I expected a depressing picture but instead got a happy feeling from this little girl. Her eyes reflect the sparkle that is in your eyes, Dinah, when you laugh. I like the dimensionality of her legs under the blanket.
