| Acrylic on wood 1.5x2 feetish. I love this painting because it reminds me of a particular moment in my childhood. I was at summer camp in Connecticut and one day we were all swimming down at the lake. I was around ten years old. There was a girl, about a year older than me, standing in the shallows. I was staring at her because she was cute when I noticed blood running down the inside of her legs. I remember actually wondering to myself if she was having her first period. I turned away and when I looked back she was squatting in the water and looked slightly mortified. I remember feeling like I had been privy to some secret female magic. I never told anybody until I was much older. I'll never forget that girl. |
