After my mother passed away some time ago, my dad never did remarry and I never asked him why as he was a very private man. Even though he dated a few ladies over the years I came to believe one of the reasons was that there just never was a woman for him who could compare to my mom. It inspired me to paint this scene of him walking the beach with her accompanying footsteps close beside. It's an even more precious painting to me since he passed away not long ago. I was truly blessed to have had two wonderful and caring parents.
