Original artwork description:

This original Oil painting was done based on a girl I saw walking her little dog in Santa Monica. There was an elegance and mystery about her, even though I saw her only from the back at a distance. While I was painting this, it seemed to take on a life of it's own and in the end I made the figure somewhat less than fully substantial - a quality of walking from one world to another. This was possibly influenced by a personal family situation with my beloved sister who was hovering between life and death at the time; hence the title. Although this painting went elsewhere than originally intended, it feels to me ultimately serene and slightly spiritual.
