Description
I painted this from my childhood memories.
.....
I was in fifth grade when my family moved to the house, which my parents had built for us. It was in a barrio around two miles away from the town proper. The house was barely finished when we moved in. We did not even have electricity. It took months before we eventually got the connection to the local power grid. During those months, we only had kerosene lamps for lighting.
.....
I still remember myself, studying, reading, and preparing my homework at night with the help of those kerosene lamps.
.....
This is a 16" X 20" acrylic painting on canvas. I finished this painting last Sunday, August 25, 2013.

V. I like the way you presented the lighting in this painting. It is nice the see the blues contrasting witht the wam color of the palette. We still have a few of these lamps in case the power should go off.

Thanks for the feedback and support, Linda. Yes, I think it's good to keep them, just in case. You never know when you might need them.
