Painting V Acrylic on Canvas. This painting is the second in an ongoing series of 12. The subject matter is of a superficial mother and her isolated daughter. The mother is infatuated with wealth and personal possessions and tries to inflict those idealogies into her daughter. The daughter, however, has turned away from those ideals entirely. That rejection or enlightening is represented by the flurry of paint strokes against her body. The action shown with the paint stokes correlates directly to the divergence in feeling of the central character, in this case the girl. The flurry of paint stokes and the use of only black and white is the principal common theme among this series.
