Description

How many times have parents heard the words," I'm running away! I ain't never coming back! You'll see, you'll be sorry!" And of course how many of us told our parents the very same words.
So this painting is my reverance to those words. The boy with his knapsack on a stick, and his faithful friend on a journey that like these tracks seems never ending. Now I also had a short tale about this subject too. Between the ages of 7 and ten my nephew was feeling like this boy and thought he had to leave home. My brother got my nephew's little suitcase out and helped him pack his bag. Into the living room with his bag and head hung low he said bye to his mother.My brother asked him if he needed some money, almost in tears now, but refusing to cry he said yes. My brother pulled out a twenty dollar bill and gave it to him, and told him to be sure and write his mother. Now I'm not sure but I think my brother even told him that he would miss him. Out the front door and down the side walk my nephew started to walk. Contrary to what you may think at this point, my brother had no intention of just letting the boy face the world at such a tender age. He had car keys in hand and when my nephew was far enough down the street he got in his car and followed him.I guess my nephew realized his error and started back home. My brother saw this and they drove home together. My nephew grew up and joined the marines for a while and my last knowledge of him was that he now has a family of his own.
