My Dad's Art

My father has also been an artist, not of profession but as a hobby, and it is from him that we, his children, have received our creativity. My dad has always sketched and made drawings. His medium of choice for painting was oil paint and I remember the smell of linseed oil in the house when I was growing up. He mixed this oil with his paint to get it to the consistency he liked for painting. More recently, before the Alzheimer's Disease, he was learning to use watercolour. He has not painted or sketched in the last few years. It is sad to see that the Alzheimer's has taken that away from him. So it is special that his paintings are being returned to us.
