Going Home by

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).

    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.

    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.
