Sylvia


Oil on Streched Linen
28x28in
I met Sylvia on a couple’s cruise on the Ha Long Bay. We were the only ones that did not come as part of a couple and being the odd ones out, we found ourselves sharing cigarettes on the top deck of our ship and sharing life stories. I hope to find her one day and give her this painting.
