GABRIEL AND THE TRAIN, acrylic on canvas
Added 2021-04-06 21:58:22 +0000 UTCI hope this isn't true but this may be the only photograph I can find of this painting, Gabriel and the Train, which was sold at my first major solo show at Watts Towers Center. The reason I thought of it is-- not only because it's the exact 2 year mark of my last solo show-- but because I photographed a friend for a portrait on Saturday who didn't get the lottery to remain in the U.S. and so must return to India within the next two months or so. When I photographed the friend who is the subject of this painting, he was also at a significant crossroads of his life, and the emotions were evident in his face in all of the photographs, which seemed to be captured here, as well as in the train moving behind him. A friend happened to have this photograph and posted it on Facebook so I had the opportunity to save it and thank her.
Just as I want to thank you again and again and again for supporting me here on this platform and inspiring me to remain authentic and on purpose.
