A Child’s True Hunger

Oil on Canvas,
30" x 24", 1-1/2" deep
Unframed

"A Child's True Hunger" is a thought-provoking oil painting that transcends traditional canvas boundaries. On an unconventional surface shaped like a school crossing sign, it depicts a well-dressed young girl whose eyes tell a story of emotional hunger beneath material abundance.

The lime green backdrop demands attention, much like a child's silent plea for connection. Her tousled hair and yearning gaze expose the truth that fancy clothes cannot satisfy a heart's deepest needs. The traffic sign canvas brilliantly communicates its urgent message: stop, look, and truly see our children.

This masterpiece serves as both mirror and beacon, challenging society to cross the road from material indulgence to emotional investment. It reminds us that a child's true nourishment comes not from possessions, but from the priceless gift of presence—transforming our understanding of what it means to truly care for the next generation.
