Painting of reflection to Dylan Thomas's biography "Portrait of the Artest as a Young Dog."
Dylan Thomas was a reknown Welsh poet and writer
who had written poems that were thouroughly constructed in geometric frame.
Although his poems are very organized and well thought out, his life was not very much so.
This piece illustrates the messy and scattered moments of his growing up,
yet also capturing the two organized frame of the painting.
Thomas was a heavy drinker and had ultimately passed from overdrinking and health complex.
