DETAIL/ARTIST’S PERSPECTIVE:
Painted on location at the tomb of Stanford University’s first professor. The university has a long history and its roots are rich in substance. Leland Stanford and his wife lost their son at a young age and to memorialize him and to leave a legacy, they built the University.
I visited the mausoleums on the property and happened upon the angel, which was structurally depredated; her arm was broken off and the surroundings were in need of care and attention. I think this was the first time as an artist, that I really captured a sense of deep sadness, in general, and for an inanimate statue.
