This is actually an artwork I painted of my grandmother – the only grandparent I ever knew. I wanted to underscore the beauty in all things – at all ages, symbolized by the fresh apples growing in the gnarled tree, for example. The Eve figure is very much my grandmother, who loved flowers. She only wore dresses, never wore pants, and I remember the folds the fabric of her dresses would make because she slumped a bit. She had keen blue eyes. In any event, a gallery wanted to show my artwork, and I didn’t have enough inventory so I let them show Contemplating Eve, assuming that no one would buy it for the high price I had set. Well… someone did! My grandmother is hanging above someone’s fireplace somewhere! I hope she is making them very happy!
