My dear, wonderful art teacher passed away. I am so grateful to have had a short time to work with him. He was insistent on tapping into your own imagination for creating art, and without that push, none of this would have come about like it did. How can you thank someone for helping you find out you have something worthwhile to say? He was 85, a lifelong artist, son of an artist, and was still teaching and passionately discussing art up until his death, a quiet passing in his sleep. This painting was done the day before he died. The piece was always ethereal and not of this world, the perfect piece to dedicate to him. Thank you Jorgen, we'll miss you!

You know I cried what I read/saw this. I agree with KK, your teacher would have loved your bold strokes and feminine strength.
