I was just over in the UK for my father’s birthday (a big one) and there, as here, trying to find an appropriate birthday card can be a real chore. There never seems to be anything suitable. So I took the route of composing a little watercolour based on an old photo. Dad looked quite raffish in his youth and well beyond. My fun was doubled when I found an old set of watercolour block paints, that were still kicking around from my childhood! Apart from one tub, they were all still going strong. I’m quite pleased with the results and more importantly, Dad likes it. Talk about a trip down memory lane!
This is really nice, David. Super nice.
Thanks Cynthia, glad you like it!
C bo, Happy birthday Papa de David!
Hey Katia, Much appreciated, Thanks.
What a beautiful portrait, David. There’s nothing better, I think, than a gift made from the hand and the heart. Beats Hallmark any day! Thanks for sharing… it’s so inspiring. 🙂 Michelle
Yes indeed Michelle, Hallmark has definitely had it’s day! Many Thanks.
good work David. I am thinking about going back to water color for doing some quick portraits.
Thanks Daniel: Go for it…for quick work….water rules!
