Tending to Her Body (A Chinese Woman, A Senior Citizen)

Oil on Framed Canvas  8in x 6in x .5in

*Special note on this one.  Found this photograph of A Chinese Woman tending to her toenails, while naked, on her back porch. I saw it and chuckeled..being in Senior Care for years. I found this photo in a photo mag from China at the Chicago China Town Library.  Story goes, a photographer was visiting his family in China.  He went to the family home and nobody was at home.  He felt that was odd. He then walked around to the back gate and walked onto the back patio and saw his grandmother doing this.  He immediatly took a pic. I had to paint this painting...it was too awesome of an image.   I wish I had kept that mag.  So, librarys always throw away old magazines.  Check them out for inspiration.
