At the beginning of our conversation that day, Ken told me Kathy had passed. We kept talking — a long, unhurried talk — and when it ended I took the photograph this painting comes from. I then spent tens of hours with his face, layering paint slowly, the way I do. What a face holds after a conversation like that is what this painting is about.
