Description

Bricks of life is what life is all about. Sometimes there is happiness and joy, other times there is sadness and grief. The silver lining between the bricks is the oil which makes it work anyway...
The year was late 1996 and my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and was given one year to live. The summer of -97 I was painting in my studio. But I was not happy with the piece I was working on, so I cut it in half and started to paint on the back. One after one, the bricks came out...and this brick of life was created. The size of the original is only 7" x 9". I gave it to our son Patrick. Isobel passed January 10 1998
