This painting is in honor of the women in my life: My mother (who has passed on), my wife, and my sisters. This picture is not a depressed one even if it may appear so, but on the contrary, about endurance and love. The narrative in my head while painting was as follows: A woman sits down in her favorite chair after a long day at work, and after making dinner and putting the kids to bed, she sits down in her favorite chair, shuts her eyes and dreams of the one place in the world where she feels peace--the ocean.
