Flowers For My Dad
Flowers For My Dad
24"x36"
Acrylic, Tea Stain on Stretched Paper
When I finished this piece, it had been exactly a year since my dad left this world. He didn't want to go, and I even now I keep finding myself painting in yellow, his favourite colour. Not on purpose either. When he was alive he always wanted to help me. He helped me move, buy a house, babysit my kids. And my secret, I've only ever used yellow as an accent colour, I thought it too bold and overpowering inside an art piece. Is he waving hello? telling me to continue, even though being an Artist is so scary and hard? Telling me to be brave? I wave back and tell him I miss him.
