re - Heritage

originally it was to be a more complex work, with this as being on the right a wee, and another object, a photo of ancestors in an ornate frame on the other side... but could not find good source material to use for the oldtime photo imitation, so went with this in a smaller size... the image was deliberately vague so could be used to show a female or male child with an even more vague person aside... had just finished the Auel books, and so the idea of the bone handled ladle appealed to me, to see if could imagine such a thing... and it seemed to work all around, making for a nice small painting in b/w...

a further note, in case not considered - heritage can be from the past, OR beginning now into the future [one way of looking at the youngster in reflection]...
