Recollections of Childhood

The memories of my childhood are incredibly vivid: a certain picture may persist in my mind for many years. It bothers me slightly, and, at a certain point, I realize that the time has come to create a work on this subject. After I have painted it, I calm down, being cognizant of the fact that I have paid due tribute to a particular childhood episode.
