The lost ones in the Month of Love

(I'll try and get a better photo
tomorrow.)

For many people this month, there are people we love who are
gone forever, and still our love lives on.  We miss them, think of
them, love them and wish they were here. 

My niece Chloé, who inspired this painting is one of the people 
lost to our family two years ago, too soon -- way too soon. 
She was brilliant, funny, beautiful, and I think of her every time I walk
by this painting in my studio.

I wish we could know when we are living on this planet, how 
much we mean to the people who love us.  Would it change
our life story? Maybe not.  But it might.

Please everyone -- stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy.
This virus is not gone. Wear a mask, social distance, and 
do everything you can to keep yourself and the people who
love you safe.
