Note
The present painting depicts the artist's son, Eliot (1987-2014). About the work, the artist reminisces: "This Tub painting is highly personal for me. It is of my youngest son Eliot. It was started after I’d begun to spend a lot of time with my mentor Andrew Wyeth. There is a stillness in the piece. We can feel time... It’s about the passage of time... and redemption. The pure light pours into the room... and a refraction creates the fleeting illusion of a halo above Eliot’s head."
