the Centenarian

The Centenarian
2009
acrylic on canvas
26 x 22 inches

The centenarian is a friend of my father’s.  It’s fun to see my Papa with the centenarian because not many people qualify as his elder anymore, and the respect and admiration that Papa accords his friend make me realize how young he really is—relatively speaking!

The subject who comes the closest in age to the centenarian is Marge.
