Dad


"Dad"
10" x 8"
Oil on canvas panel





















My father died tonight.  It was not unexpected, nonetheless, he is now gone.  I decided to, as my friend said, "Give sorrow words..." through paint. 
"The grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break." 
William Shakespeare


"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. 
Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Good night Dad. You were loved.

  8. Thank you Linda. It was a heartfelt effort, done within hours of his passing. Pouring myself into it was very cathartic. I was surprised that THAT was what I felt compelled to do after I received the news. We do tend to know deep inside what will make us bend and not snap.
