In November we lost our beloved "Papa", also known as Talmage Whiting Neilsen. I did this painting entitled "Instruments of the Master" in the days after his passing. Talmage was a well-known soft tissue surgeon which explains the surgery tools. His kindness, intelligence, and humor will greatly be missed.
This is a superlative painting, depicting the hands of my father and symbolizing his life's work and character.
