praying golf acrylic and joint compound on wood 8x36
This is a painting I did for my dad for his birthday. I know these aren't the best photos, but maybe you get the idea. Anyways, this one refers to the spot in the neighborhood where my dad and stepmom stop to pray on their morning walks. This year my dad got some good health news after an initial scare. Out of respect for his privacy, I won't go into much detail except to say that it was an uncertain time and we all let out a big sigh of relief when the good news came his way. I'm sure the walking and praying did a lot of good for him. Whether there was anything metaphysical in the works is debatable and, from my point of view, irrelevant. It got him from point A to point O, and that's all that matters. He moved his body, quieted his mind, and got on with it.
