Description
On Exhibit and currently unavailable. Full proceeds from any subsequent sale go to the ARKELL/Canajoharie Library. A 'memory painting"of the now boarded up West Hill School in Canajoharie. My memory includes a long walk from Palatine Bridge over an almost always windy bridge across the Mohawk River, a treck through the village topped off by the challenge of a steep hill. The paper lunch bag is a tribute to Senator James Arkell who acquired over 30 patents on the lowly paper bag in the 1800s. His son Bartlett Arkell founded a world class food and packaging company known as Beechnut. In this painting I present myself as the chronically late student hurrying not to miss the last bell. "The Last Bell" to me symbolizes the closed school; the irony being that the historic bell is still purportedly in the tower but not in my painting.
