“Gone, But Not Forgotten” is another highly personal painting. Over the years, I’ve known so many wonderful people – family, friends and lovers. Many of whom are, alas, no longer with us. As I get older, I find myself wandering in that forest of personal memories – the joyful, the sad, the saplings, the oaks. In the distance, I hear the echoes of laughter. And sometimes tears. Out of the shadows, youthful sprites appear. Were we really that young? That nimble? That alive? Yes, we were.

“Gone, But Not Forgotten” is my simple tribute and thanks to all those loved ones who filled my life and continue to shape who I am.
