Original artwork description:

Forgotten Fields

'I rest my furrowed brow,
My life heaped with toil.
My flesh is cleaved,
By plow and hoe and hands.
The children of my labor,
Given for you,
To fill you and nourish you.
Take, eat, this is my body,
But do not forget me,
For I have loved you like no other.'

Materials used:

Oil paint on gessoed canvas mounted on stretchers
