Communion (c)2011\u2013 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas, 24\u2033 x 12\u2033<\/p><\/div>\n

I stopped painting for two years after my father died in 2009. This was the the canvas that reclaimed my creative spirit. Bach’s “Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor” paired with Gavin Bryars’ “Sinking of the Titanic<\/a>” *\u00a0cradled me through swells of anger, love, helplessness and tears, until I reached that place of acceptance and peace.\u00a0It was very much a cathartic process that began as mourning<\/em> but ended in freedom<\/em>\u00a0through a spiritual communion with my father. Painting is the one place where I can see. This painting has been added to the G+ #FirstFridayArtWalk<\/a><\/p>\n

* Note: I had the good fortune of attending Gavin Bryar’s 2012 performance of “Sinking of The Titanic<\/a>” at (Le) Poisson Rouge<\/a> (@lprnyc<\/a>), in NYC last April. Both recordings are generously provided by\u00a0Q2 Music<\/a>\u00a0(@Q2Music<\/a>) and are both \u00a0worth your ear.<\/h6>\n
