A DOCK STREET VISIT / 2020 / oil on canvas / 24" x 24"
... Read a painting comment below...
What would I ask my Father if I could
Or my Great Great Grandfather
Who also had our name
How deep does family go?
Could I be the spitting image of an ancient Uncle
Whose name has been forgotten
Or of someone else who lived 1000 years ago
Like faint reflections on a window walking by
Who were these people
Whose DNA and genes were used creating me
And what else did I inherit?
Can traits and talents really be passed on?
And do all my thoughts and dreams
Just belong to me?
Or am I just the latest layer
Of the being I have always been?
