J’ai grandi au pied de mon oncle Richard. Une présence immense, inspirante et bienveillante. J'ai peint ce dessin alors que la maladie prenait lentement mais sûrement le dessus sur lui. Il est mort au coeur de l'hiver, mais sa présence est intacte.

I grew up at the foot of my uncle Richard. An immense, inspiring, and benevolent presence. I painted this drawing as the disease slowly took over him. He died in the heart of winter, but his presence is intact.
