From The Artist:
At the time of my father's death in 1998, I was busy with school and design and not doing a lot of fine art. Ever since, I have had a strong urge to create a piece or more to speak of the distress of watching a strong loved one fade away right before my eyes. Several pieces are swimming around inside me, waiting to be born - but this one and Despair 2 begged to be put down in paint. I feel each time I look at these paintings, and I've invited others to feel as well. I adore the feedback I've received on this piece.
