We Are One
This painting is called "We Are One", acrylic on canvas, 40 cm x 40 cm. It's my parents in Ontario, Canada.
They used to tell me and my siblings "We are one", when we were small to let us know they were a united front and if one says 'no', it's no use trying to convince the other one. They've been together for 55 years!
This is my first painting featuring water since the private lessons I took with Mark in 2022. Thank you Mark for sharing your secrets with us and for teaching me to not get attached to my work.
This is a deeply personal painting for me, yet it moved a collector so profoundly that I decided to part with it so love can be spread into the world: all the love I put into this painting and the love of my parents which they passed on to our whole family.
