This self-portrait is a visual metaphor for attachment and impermanence, two themes that I have explored throughout my life as a painter. When my mother and grandfather passed, I saved their funerary arrangements and painted them. I also began buying flowers for myself on a regular basis and added those, usually Stargazer lilies, to the arrangements. This work is the third painting in a series called, Consolation flowers which are visual conversations with my departed ones.
Oil on canvas, 66×44”
