Love My Dad...

8.11.2007

and the art that he creates. Love that I grew up around such a creative soul. Love that I saw his determination, hard work, and dedication to his craft first hand. Love that he let me "play" around him while he was working in the studio. Love that on any given day there may have been classical, rock and roll, alternative or some other eclectic mix of music blaring from the stereo speakers while he was painting. Love that my Dad drove an old bread truck (used for transporting his larger works) and that I got to go with him on location while growing up for many of his installations. Love that he never told me what he was painting, but asked me what it was that I saw. Love my Dad so very much. You can check out more of his work here.

How lucky to have a dad like that! And how lovely for him to have a daughter who writes about him that way! A great take on the prompt.

Really touching and personal response. Love you Dad's vibrant art too. Your response made me think back on the way my dad has shaped me and the relationship we had when I was growing up. Its not easy being a parent but it really makes me appreciate what a great person he is with a good nature. So thank you!
