LAST CALL AT THE MILK BAR
Original Watercolor 11" x 14"
$300 - currently on display at the
Convergence Gallery, Alexandria, Virginia.
I came to the Mother & Child series after several studies of
the female form. Women have such magical contours,
color and shape and I found that newborns and their mothers
naturally doubled that vitality and life. LAST
CALL AT THE MILK BAR is named for the last feeding of the
day; the title referencing barroom closing time. The
literary nerd in me added At The Milk Bar to the
title in homage to Anthony Burgess' Clockwork Orange
for no other reason than the slant rhyme and milk reference.
I can't imagine this lovely child growing up to be a
Droog! |

for the times of day my new mom friends most often cited
they were called to nourish their children. 3 AM
depicts the wide-awake child and I imagine a very groggy
mum.

I'm not sure if they still slap newborns to start
their breathing, but if they don't let's imagine
this little fella is going to grow up to guard the
net for the Detroit Red Wings in 2027.

I really enjoyed creating this painting. My
goal was to capture the fierce protectiveness a
mother feels for her child. |
