The woods behind my house block the morning sun from the farm across the street in early morning, but eventually illuminate the meadow and barns as the sun rises higher. “Morning Shade” 30 x 40 o/c.
I started this piece a few weeks ago. Since that time, my dad passed away peacefully at the age of 97. With funeral arrangements and periods of reflection and grappling with our loss, I’ve not been in my studio until the past couple days. I pushed to finish this piece. As I worked on it (and recognizing the potentially cliche sentiment), the concept of a lighthouse seemed an undeniable metaphor for my father. Both guiding people through darkness, away from danger, and into calmer seas. “A Steady Light” 24 x 24 o/c.
