Father's Day Present
My friend Patrick drew this for his senior art show when he graduated art school. He made a series of works that depicted people who had been transformed by God in different ways. My beautiful wife bought this one for me for Father's Day which to me is the perfect present. I am honored to be a subject of Patrick's art, and reminded of how wonderful our God is. It also strokes the ego a bit to hang a 20/24 picture of yourself right smack dab in the middle of the living area. Fitting.
The picture is blurry due to my awful camera but in the picture is my beautiful wife, Me, My Son, My daughter, a set of train tacks, a train, the pope statue, the flat I used to live in, some seagulls, Mount Carmel Parish, and scenery surrounding the tracks. Patrick is an amazing artist, maybe I can get him to send me pictures to post of the rest of the series.

I'm a simple person to figure out. I usually write it all down here. I try not to pretend to be anything. I am what I am and that's good enough until it's not anymore. I want my kids to remember me smiling when I'm gone. Integrity is the very basis of a good life. I love my God, my wife, my kids, my friends, and I try to love all of the rest of you.

ReplyDeleteWow. What a cool gift.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I called it weird. It is just such an interesting drawing. Almost like you are looking through someone.
I didn't took the weird part as complimentary. Do not take it back!
ReplyDeleteI think he the "Looking through someone" was the point.
