Letting Go Never
2025
Oil on Canvas  (3 x 4')

 

  
Beginning with a photo of OLD TOWN BUCHAREST taken in 2024 by Mary, this large scale painting holds memories of our friendship over four decades, including an homage to 'Mãe e Vó', a painting by Brazilian artist Rodrigo Branco, in her home since 2019.

Half a year to paint, a month to pack, a moment to break. It arrived damaged. Mary's husband repaired it for us. And the story continues.. never letting go.
