"It's Not Goodbye" Canvas

Story Behind the Painting

One of Terry Bradley’s most personal and emotionally resonant works to date. Created during a time of deep transition, the painting captures a poignant embrace between Terry’s wife and daughter, Ella. Ella was preparing to leave for university - an emotional milestone for any family - while the family was also grieving the recent loss of Terry’s beloved mother-in-law.

This artwork freezes a powerful, fleeting moment of connection and love between mother and daughter. The embrace is both comforting and heart-wrenching, symbolising a farewell that is filled with hope rather than finality. The textured, layered style reflects the emotional complexity of the moment - love, pride, grief, and change, all held in a single gesture.

Rather than simply documenting a goodbye, Bradley wanted to immortalise a moment that spoke to the enduring bond between the women in his life. The piece stands as a tribute to family, resilience, and the beauty found in holding on - even as we let go.

‘It’s Not Goodbye’ is a reminder that some moments, though brief, deserve to last forever. It is a deeply human work that invites the viewer to reflect on their own connections, losses, and the power of memory.
