I was still working on the first panel when my eldest child died . . . The whole work came together as a dark and mysterious series of events where I was tapping some eternal sources of truth and revelation; of how we are bound to this earth and how we relate our innermost feelings to nature . . . Every mood of nature has a profound effect on us . . . This painting brought me to a point of great emotional intensity, trying to achieve the unreachable sublime beauty.
