My Dad's Paintings
 

While home last fall I snapped a few shots of the paintings my dad has done. These are photos taken of pictures hanging on my parents walls. The lighting is awful and the photos really don't do justice to the paintings. He swears he's not an artist, I think he's nuts.

watercolor, right?

my mother has been playing with this for years, thinks she isn't any good, but i have a few of her sketches that are keepers...

good stuff, tully...

Some watercolors, some oil and some acrylic. Not sure exactly which are which but I know the Golden Gate bridge in the fog is oil, I was still home when he did it. I think the one with two parrots is acrylic and many of the rest might be watercolors. Again I'm just not sure. I do know the photos don't do them justice.

butterflies are beautiful tell your dad that he is indeed an artist I just wish I had his talent

these are nice, my favourite is the 5th one with the butterflies, it has the most freedom of brush stroke to me.

I really love the hummingbird and the butterflies.

The bridge is my favorite. Remarkable work, shame he doesn't see the talent.

Wow, those are really good!

By chance did you inherit any of his ability?

These are all good, but the bridge and the butterflies are exceptional.

As a bird lover, I very much appreciate his subject matter. These are great!

what an artist

Not really. I can take a chainsaw and a chunk of wood and turn it into something that looks like a bear, fish or bird. I've dinked around with drawings and stuff most of it doesn't look anything like art.

...they're awesome, tully, artist he is!...you tell 'em i said so

there are very nice, my favourite is the seven,you dad is really a artist
