Home upbringing:
<< Back to main painting
a) I, as a small boy, rejected by my school mates;
b) my fear of school bullies and the ridicule of the school girls;
c) my fear of being rejected by my father and losing the companionship, food, shelter and warmth of a home;
d) my father's philosophy, the survival of the craftiest, pointed out by the plight of the foolish fish.
