closeups
I painted mom as she was the summer we visited before the stroke which paralyzed her left side and left her aphasic. I began this painting during the three years after the stroke, but could not finish it until after her death. I painted Benjamin as he was at the time I finished the piece, so they exist together, mom in the summer of 2012, Ben in the summer of 2018.

closeup
Winter was long. People I loved died. Our dog Mystic died. I walked our new puppy Pan 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.
