Story / Additional InfoThe painting is a tribute to the artist's aunt who died of cancer when the artist was a teenager. She admired this aunt who was always quite ladylike, hence the gloves and fan. She raised chickens but wasn't able to have children, much to her dismay. The eggs symbolize both the chickens and the unborn children. The mood is somber, somewhat subdued. The purples and greens add to this mood and the light pouring in is a contrast to this. The figure of the woman is ghost like as it represents the aunt who passed away but the warm tones that surround the shapes hint at the happy associated memories.
