DANA LOMBARDO THE LIBRARY

16” x 20” — Oil $2,500

My goal for this painting was to depict a pioneer woman enjoying a break from her work. I imagine that she moved to her new home from her childhood home in the East bringing what few belongings she could carry in their wagon. She drinks from her mother’s china teacup and has a few treasured books that tell of foreign lands and stories such as Robin Hood, Swiss Family Robinson, Vanity Fair and the Song of Hiawatha . She keeps her little library on the drop-leaf table her father built along with her grandfather’s pocket watch.
