Formation of Memory in the Neurological Hospital by Andrew Galbraith 2007 Oil on Canvas Board 22 X 18 inches

Painted after my Dad had spent nineteen weeks in hospital after brain surgery to remove a pituitary tumour had not gone well. Thankfully he survived the brain haemorrhage (described as post operative by the surgeon and discovered in the recovery room). The painting reflects his struggle for survival and the time when it was apparant that his memory had not been affected by the bleeding or coma.
