The first of my etching to record special times for each of our children. In the main part of the etching, Aidan lights the candles for Easter. At the same moment, in hospital, his grandfather died. They both had a great interest in fires and it was one of their fine connections. Owls, with faces representing absent members of our family, hover. In the smaller images, details of Aidan's earlier life; his birth tree given by his grandparents, grows on.
