About the Item

This is part of a series of work I do in duet with my children’s paintings. My process with painting is to ruminate on life. Childhood is both the present, but and the ghosts. I see memories of my own childhood, also their strong imaginations, bursting into our experience. Blurring the line between real and imaginary. The title is taken from Caravaggio “goy bitten by a lizard. It was the same boy he loved to paint, perhaps a self-portrait. :: Painting :: Fine Art :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: fornt :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No

Between the Bite and the Beak, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
By Amy Bernays
Located in Yardley, PA
I love to peer into boyhood. Like an intrepid anthropologist, I pull back the curtains of imaginative play and look into their world of makeshift slingshots and make believe war. The ferocious bite of his dinosaurs, informed by playtime with a little friend and a pet chicken. I like to paint the happy in life. Looking for those thoughts or moments that bring me joy and define my life. I paint my children. Not just their visage, but their being. Their play, their imaginative world as well as their real world. In this series I have the kids paint...
