Spring, Sofia closeup

Winter was long. People I loved died. Our dog died. I walked our new puppy through the dark and wet. Slowly the morning light returned and the grasses turned green. One morning lavender flowers appeared among the grasses. Each day brought new color. Spring, Sofia is about those colors, the change of seasons and the beauty that change brings. And it is about my oldest daughter. Each color I used in this painting had to be beautiful. The subject is also in the spring of her life, smooth and subtle as the meadow. Even as it arrives I feel the passing of spring and anticipate the departure of this daughter who leaves for college in the fall. My work increasingly depends upon beautiful color to convey what is honorable about the struggles inherent in living.
