24" x 36" Oil - R.V. Harms 1992
My son's mother-in-law saw this piece and described it in a way I would never have considered. She saw the three women of different sizes as three women of three generations whose life was difficult, but they found bounty in their connection to each other.
I hope that everyone who disagrees with my comments has such profound insight and refined sensibilities.
Here is my original:
I had an uncle who told me that the only thing he liked more than an O'Henry Chocolate Bar was two O'Henry Chocolate Bars. This left a lasting impression on me. One ample woman is great, two ample women are better - three ample women are the ultimate; and maybe a pitcher of milk, no - two pitchers of milk - and, well, some fruit - and - oh, what the heck - why not unlimited bounty!
I include my comments to encourage people to spend more time contemplating my images and as a starting place for discussion. I hope you will interpret my paintings in your own way. Once a work is finished even the artist's interpretation is only one of many possible right answers.
