"Flu Baby"
Acrylic on Cradled Board
30x24"
October 2007

From The Artist:
Quickly sketched onto my studio blotter, I instantly "felt" this one.

My son recently recovered from his first flu... and I realize now that I am a big-time "checker". It's as though I was constantly checking to see that he was feeling/breathing/
sleeping/doing okay.

I frequently give my paintings working titles, and then usually give them a more finished title upon completion. This one, however, was instantly "Flu Baby".

This painting takes a step toward recreating moments of everyday life.
