Dana Ellyn in Barcelona | MIDLIFE | 21.APRIL.2011 > 5.JUNE.2011

Oath | 140 x 105 cm. | Acrylic on canvas
OATH. Written on the painting is the Girl Scout Oath. The Girl Scouts are an organization of young women and girls for character development and citizenship training. The style of the painting is supposed to look like a chalkboard ... anything you write on a chalkboard can be easily erased just like promises made can easily be broken.


Til Death | 130 x 105 cm. | Acrylic on canvas
TIL DEATH. Next to the couple is the traditional wedding vows. The style of the painting is supposed to look like a chalkboard ... anything you write on a chalkboard can be easily erased. It is a statement about lack of permanence. Vows can be spoken but the can easily be broken (i.e. erased).
