The Bluest Ξye

My mother passed away not a few years ago. She had four children. I remember when she graduated received her doctorate degree from the University of Maryland. She was apart of Toni Morrison's board of writers in her final book introduction. I remember meeting Toni in Rochester, NY. One thing about Toni is seeing her dreadlocks sprouting perfectly from her head. My mother showed me one of her novel's entitled "The Bluest Eye." This novel changed me forever, for it was a black girl who wanted to be white, or the fascination of seeing Annie on the mug in the kitchen for the first time. I will never forget the experiences growing up with a parent who showed us so much about literature. I am still today, living in her footsteps. This abstract expressionism piece means more to me than anything. Very personal piece. I hope you enjoy it the same way. NFT Includes: 16x20 Oil Acrylic on Canvas - installed // Wood frame 18x22
