Le Pouf P'tit

Le Pouf P'tit, 2011
by Gaby De la O. 
Ink, pencil colours on paper, 149 x 210 cm.

"I love your little dolls!" she says when I finally decide to hang all the canvas Poufs in my room. Now that I'm back home, she makes sure I feel welcome. My mother, who silently doesn't want to bother. She keeps quiet when I don't want to talk, and hugs me for hours when I cry. This is for her, le Pouf P'tit. A little inky Pouf, just like her, cute and small. I added pencil colour and some gold twists. I'm glad I finished it today, tomorrow I'll wrap it up and leave it with a note.
