The Living Years by Leslie Gustafson
A father teaching his son to fish and creating memories that last a lifetime. The title comes from the song The Living Years I wasn’t there that morning / When my Father passed away / I didn’t get to tell him / All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit / Later that same year / I’m sure I heard his echo / In my baby’s new born tears / I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear / You can listen as well as you hear / It’s too late when we die / To admit we don’t see eye to eye / 12×16 oil on canvas / Willamette River, Harrisburg, Oregon

About This Group
Water, the Hub of Life.
Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium.
Water is the most extraordinary substance!
Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building
material for its machinery.
Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.
– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1972)
This group is for artists who love to paint water in a Realist Style using oils, acrylics or water colours.

The painting must have water as the main focus, ie, seascapes, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, ponds, etc. This may include animals, humans, etc but ONLY if there is a considerable amount of water depicted in the painting.
In the description of your work, please include medium, support and dimensions. For example: Oils on canvas (20×30 inches).
