The setting of this serigraph is simple, details reduced to a minimum, and the emphasis on the close relationship between the figures draws us into the atmosphere of intimacy.

Colville chooses to express himself through subject matter immediately identifiable with his own circumstances. His work is concerned with the great events in the lives of each of us…he brings that to us through his own experience, through his family and the locality he knows best.
