Going Home

Going Home by Arnold Isbister

Going Home

A recent poem(of the same name) brought out this memory. This painting was done by my daughter and isn’t for sale. Just thought some will be interested – she’s my oldest. My yougest did some too, if any reply I can put them up temporarily(maybe for a week).

Going Home belongs to the following groups:

    This is really really good. Please try to persuade your daughter to join Redbubble. She doesn’t have to sell her work if she doesn’t want to. I don’t sell mine and I am still welcome on Redbubble. I’d love to see more paintings like this … has your daughter been to art college?

    There are a few families on Redbubble, so let’s see your youngest daughter’s art too.

    It’s a family affair – how cool is that! Both of my sons Micah and Aaron belong to RB. Oh yes, what Dave and Pagly said, for sure. As far as the painting -colours are magnificent. It shows family, a good thing.

    RogPlease tell her Uncle Rog favorited it.

    this is a really good piece of art i love the indain history and the use of colors to tell it

    thanks everybody, I will tell her and yes to UncRog, i will tell her about ‘favoriting’. She did this when she was teenager. She’s married now with 2 daughters, latest one in Nov. Hopefully she will put something up cause she is good; paints super photo realism and draws abstract graphics. My little one was into Art but then friends & boys came along….eeewww, (like she says) I’ll put a couple up tomorrow that she did at age 7-8. My son ‘doodled’ but was too busy with sports and grrrrls, eeeeww :) now he also has 2 boys.

    This is one of the most poignant pieces of work I have seen … it has a wonderful naivety and child-like spontaneity …. stunningly beautiful

    this is so beautiful – there is a real sense of family and togetherness in this image – the colours are so wonderful and so positive – i adore the image.

    oh sooo nice, great work, why don’t she join RB? she’s very talented

    Trying to persuade her but she is so busy now with the new baby. This painting was done in Gr.11 as a school project. She now does super realism which I hope she puts up soon but think we will have to wait. Her graphics which are in b&w are surreal, abstract but done with such care they’re like paintings – and they are big.

    I just spotted this on the favourites list of one of the administrators. When I clicked on the thumbnail I remembered where I’d seen it before. Your daughter has true talent … but as you do too it is probably genetic.

    All Lovely Ideas comes from simple thoughts ….. .... your daughter’s work is a living proof of this.
    May i ask which material has she used? Would she be offended if i use the design for the embriodery on my scarf?

    When I first clicked on the image all I saw was the top with it’s wonderful colour and great feel. I scrolled down a big and that’s when the big smile came. Very, very nice work. Kudos for adding a backpack to the dog :-)
