Richmond, VA
The embrace of a father and daughter seems so natural and necessary. It becomes complicated over time, especially if the parents separate. The daughter forever tries to recapture that temporary embrace. I photographed my great granddaughter and her father and felt compelled to paint this. I taught myself to draw and paint in my dining room which became a studio while my husband was in hospice in our family room.

This piece, like so much of my work, was serendipity. Scraps from other projects were just waiting for the opportunity to collaborate and tell a story. What amazed me is that when years later, listening to Nina Simone's song, "Feeling Good", it seemed to synchronize with this artwork.(Inspiration and Aspiration)collage / 17 x 14 in
