When you
turn to your wife and ask,</div>

“How long
has it been since I’ve seen her?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
she’ll look
at her watch and answer, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Perhaps a
year, maybe two.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Before you click
the lamp off,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
you’ll
mention getting together</div>

between
vacations and busy schedules.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
so I’ll pass

down the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
on Perkins Road,
where as a girl </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I rode a
blue Schwinn, popped pink bubble gum, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
and dreamt
of Little Joe on Sunday nights.</div>

Although I painted <i>The Potato Peeler</i> monumentally, she is a Batwa and one of the poorest people on earth. The root, or potato, that she cleans will be the only meal she gets that day.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This painting was inspired by a photo taken from a speeding bus as I traveled from Bujumbura, Burundi to the mountain town of Gitega on my first trip to the Homes of Hope Orphanage. I knew when I saw this man in his traditional robes, that I would one day paint this scene. Before him Africa is changing as quickly as the approaching storm. The soil in Burundi is orange clay, thus the use of orange throughout the painting. I hope you enjoy it.</span></div>
