Moonlight be my Death Mask Painting

This painting was inspired by a couple of separate experiences that connected for me in a meaningful way. First, is a story I heard about a grieving Native American father whose daughter had recently died. A friend visited him and found him sitting outside, his face painted in hues of blue and white. The friend asked him about it and he replied, "This is my death mask. Nobody is left alive who knows how to do it, so I just made it up myself." He was staring blankly from his flat backyard on the reservation at the interstate in the distance. The second experience happened a few days later, when I accompanied a friend to euthanize her pet of 17 years. These two experiences with bare grief influenced the hues and the mood of the painting.
