This commissioned painting from a few years ago shows a mother and daughter holding hands in front of Norman Rockwell iconic image of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. I thought it was appropriate to repost it this week.

In the home of my collector Chuck from San Diego hangs a print of Norman Rockwell's 'The Problem We All Live With' .

It is considered an iconic image of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States as it depicts a little girl escorted to school by four U.S. marshals.

This is a much discussed piece at Chuck's household, especially by his daughter Maia and grand-daughter Cori. So much so that Chuck asked me to paint both of them in front of this great painting by Rockwell.

It was true pleasure to paint and I especially love that Cori and Maia are holding hands. This little gesture adds so much to this painting. The portrait of Cori and Maia was a Christmas gift and as Chuck told me it was the hit of the holidays. Everybody loved it and to hear that just makes me feel so blessed!

Girl With Ribbon- Study Of Woman Enjoying Painting By Roy Lichtenstein

SOLD

Girl With Ribbon by Roy Lichtenstein is of one of Pop Art's most inconic images. In 1961, art dealer Leo Castelli started displaying Lichtenstein's work at his gallery in New York. Lichtenstein had his first one-man show at the Castelli gallery in 1962; the entire collection was bought by influential collectors before the show even opened. I sure hope the woman on my painting isn't thinking about what painting's worth, but enjoys it for what it is.

Few Pop images are more widely recognized than Indiana's Love. Originally designed as a Christmas card commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art in 1965, Love has appeared in prints, paintings, sculptures, banners, rings, tapestries, and stamps.

Full of erotic, religious, autobiographical, and political underpinning, Love is both accessible and complex in meaning. It was co-opted as an emblem of 1960s idealism. Perhaps that's what my figure is thinking about on this painting.

The public library of Amsterdam has splitlevel floors, at least in some sections. It's just great, you have a stunning view of the ground floors of the library and when you look the other way you just might see something like todays painting.

Study

It seems I'm heavy on the 'art within art' paintings this week. That will change soon enough though. On todays painting you see a couple studying a painting by Millais in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Have a great weekend!
