My father spent the last eight months of his life in our home. Seeing this once vital man fading toward death, was a very emotional experience for me, as he got thinner and paler and weaker. Painting has always helped me get through challenging times and events. I began this gouache on paper just after he died, but did not depict his face. I re-entered the painting, and completed it this year
