For a couple of years after my brother's death, I painted a lot of
paper boats. I hardly ever paint them now but every once in a while the
boat returns. It's always an emotional subject for me. Sorrow, hope,
anguish, peace, innocence, wisdom, heartache, and ultimately truce.
As I was composing this still life I just felt a strong desire to put
a paper boat into the tea cup. And so I went with it. Hello brother.
