Artist's remarks about this painting:
None of the three paintings that together compose my Atonement series is really about my old father’s recent passing. He was done living his life and I don’t blame him, not for anything anymore. Recognising how to take care of simmering feelings before they start to brew has been cathartic nevertheless and now also provides a richness to that one remark he made years ago and that I will always revere, because of its rare honesty: “I can't deal with your emotions”.
