Awww . I am so sorry . What a perfect picture for mourning.
I can't empathize with losing your father. I lost my second grandmother a few months ago, though. Loss is an stringent thing. I like the image shared very much. Is that an artist you are familiar with more? Do you know when this work was done?
@DaphneDarling -I appreciate the sentiment. Unfortunately, I have an empathy handicap.. conscientious high-functioning sociopathic. I will make myself a note to later look up Mark Ryden's works.
Sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing the painting.
