I feel proud of him man, I can only imagine how proud you are. It says a lot about a person who looks back and honours those that came before, especially ones who did very difficult things, usually willingly.

RE: Weekend-engagement week 70: Cherished & valued thing
I wasn't sure how to compliment the painting. I've been thinking of a good way and the weekend's gonna be over soon so I'll just wing it and say I wish I could look at it every day.
Thank you mate. It gets a lot of attention when people come into my house and see it. It's pretty large so commands attention but people always say it's like looking out a window over the beach.
It's actually the second he did...He'd been commissioned by some rich-ass dude to do this scene with his daughter in it, along down the beach wearing a yellow bikini. It was pretty damned legit. Fucken legit bro.
We all coaxed him into doing another but he refused to make it the same so he fundamentally changed it and left out the 20 year old hottie. Lol.
I have a few of dads paintings and this one is one of my faves.
Damn man! That's like 2,000 words.
2013 to be exact.
Had I known I was gonna get that story I woulda said something sooner. Only a cool dad would leave the chick out like "you're missing the picture!"
That commission he did, the bikini one, was pretty damned good. Alas, I never go to meet the lass.
Like the fish that got away story. They're always so much more exciting than the catch.
Wassup man? Your mates memorial came and went I imagine, how was that?
