Oct 10, 1984 to Jun 28, 2000
Sometimes it is hard to know when a painting is finished. For this one Dawn smiled at me and I knew I was done. Gary and I were just moving to the Island 24 years ago when Dawn died. We made the trip to Toronto for her funeral. She lived in Sudbury but died near Toronto. In Bahá’í Law, the deceased is to be buried no more than one hour’s journey from the place of death. I remember how beautiful and park like the green space of the Prospect cemetery was with lots of trees and dappled shade. A good resting place.
I painted this over a year ago and just mailed it off to her dad Ken. He is delighted to receive it. I will miss her presence in my studio. We stay connected through prayers.
