Generation Gap

Richard H. Love Generation Gap, 2004 Oil on Canvas 30 x 36 Inches Signed Verso

Young lady, who are you? Whom do you need? Beautiful secretary, your work is for all of us and it is time you be paid what you are worth. Without you our work will fall apart and with you we are the best in the world. This picture focuses on an age-old problem - how a single parent (especially a woman) keeps her young offspring busy and occupied with productive activities. The picture focuses on both the subtle and complicated problems that arise between a bright, pretty young girl in high school and her 42-year-old Mom. Ask yourself: How, in this free and liberal society, does this hard-working mother keep her striking young daughter out of harm’s way? Certainly there is no simple answer to the problem. We hail all your efforts, Mom.
