Roxanna Melendez
Oil Painting on Canvas -- The "Three" of Life

1998

About the Item

In this oil painting on canvas, three generations of Latina women stand in front of a maroon tree-trunk with a pre-adolescent girl between the mother and grandmother. The grandmother's indigo colored dress features almost white polka dots , while the mother is in turquoise with grape-colored embroidery. The girl's top is white, as befits her youth, and her skirt shows a joyful sequence of squares in harmony with her expression, open and eager for her future life.
