The singing Dentist...

once astutely recognized that I only paint people that are leaving. 

I'd like to be in denial about it, but it tends to be the case, dead, dying, leaving, parting. 
Parting is inevitable, but I still get pretty emotional about it. Too emotional, actually.  Unless it's family, because families can be together forever.  If you'd like to learn how that's possible check out http://mormon.org/.

Any emotional connection to my mother is most likely related to her time alive than the time we are apart.


New stuff but old.

She actually left and is in Portland, Oregon now!
