I've mentioned on here before, but my father is an artist. Like.... a for real artist. He has his Bachelors in Fine Arts and although he didn't make a career of art, it's always been his passion and hobby. He mostly has painted abstract impressionism art, but he also got into 2D/3D miniature art a few decades ago and has re-created tons of settings ranging from abandoned railroad stations to old building fronts. It's hard to imagine, but they really are SUPER cool and unique.
Anyway, as we've been painting/decorating the first floor of our house I realized that our bathroom had a huge, blank wall. I also realized that I grew up with my dads art all over our house and I didn't have a single piece created just for me. I gave him the wall color, requested a big canvas painting, and he got to work!
When my parents arrived here a couple weeks ago, I was SUPER pumped to see the finished product.
And fell in love.
It's my father. It's priceless. And it's exactly what he's best at; beautiful masterpieces, But the icing on the cake is that it was made with love.
We have so many portraits around the house that I was SO excited to get an actual piece of art up. It's better than anything I could find in any store and obviously has TONS more meaning behind it!

ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! A meaningful piece that looks great. My brother is an artist, and I would say I should take advantage of that, but his art is not necessarily something I would hang on my walls (he is very talented, but he is also very... weird :) Way to go, Sarah's dad!
