This one holds a different kind of weight. Dawn Passages
was painted during a time when memory and presence were tangled together—when the loss of my wife echoed through other moments, other losses, and opened something wider than one event. Not a single grief, but a series of small partings, remembered all at once.
I think of this piece as a kind of threshold. The marks came through slowly, with warmth and care, even when the emotion behind them was heavy. I wasn’t looking for resolution, just a way to honour what remains after the quietest goodbyes. The colours carry that sense of holding on and soft release. Each layer is a conversation I still feel.

Let this piece sit with you in those moments where memory feels close, when what’s gone still feels like it’s just around the corner. This painting holds that kind of presence.
