About The Artwork
The birth of my son is my life. He is a creation beyond myself, himself – so inexplicable. Yet – he is the metric of a vision. He is August. And as he grows, I more and more find myself unable to sell this painting. I have repeatedly apologized, as offers have come in, but I cannot. I began it before he was born, and couldn’t finish it for a substantial amount of time afterwards - striving to compare - because its namesake pales its creation. So it remains a permanent part of my family’s collection, its beauty, its transience, and its symbol of strife. “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Tennyson never more right.
