Grandmother With Knives
2007
Oil on Canvas
24"x18"



My grandfather collected knives and hung them behind the couch in their home. He's passed away now but I thought the juxtaposition of my grandmother with the violent imagery of knives would be an interesting contrast.

I can just imagine her saying, "How do you think I lived this long?" Great painting. Your work has a lot of emotion in it.

lord a mercy
now if this were my grandma, she'd be plucking knives off the wall and hurling them at us.

Besides your exceptional compositional style and the juxtaposition of Grandma to the knives, I think my favorite part about this piece is the enigmatic works bordering the subject. I will never know the painting to the right of Grandma nor the title of the books sitting to her left nor would I ever want to.

Think you did a fantastic job on your grandma.. softer tones and strokes. I enjoyed the components and composition but she stood out most.
