About the Item

From the series in collaboration with my children. She gets to make choices. She made a rainbow out of purples. Later wept when her Knight was taken, she hurt for the death of her horse. I love how emotionally invested she was when she first played chess. Her brother learned the rules in an after school class. A day or so before she had played with the chessboard I had left set up in the living room. The imagination of a Queen and her King, living in a Castle, knights on horses and pawns all around. It was just imaginative play, with the Knight horses cantering across the great open meadows of the sofa and the Queen holding court on the board. These are the constructs of childhood and learning. This is me mothering. :: Painting :: Contemporary :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: bottom right :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No

The Life Lesson, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
By Amy Bernays
Located in Yardley, PA
Somehow it is easier to overpopulate a little painting and get away with it that in a big canvas. This little painting is crowded with life. The menagerie is my daughter’s depiction of her world, the animals within it. It is blued together with the depiction of a small crowd of children looking at the precious thing. We can half make out their forms. Still a little undefined, as things are when you are only half grown up. 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...
