This was one of the last pieces I did in my fathers room...(smiling here) He, had Lots of advice! and wanted credit as an advisor. So.. here it is, it is pastel, ink, acrylic, and I dedicate it to his memory.

I love this painting, esp the colours. I've pondered over it for quite some time now, and I'm still not sure how this will work out. He looks so hopeful, but she is more like "gaaah" :) Or is she perhaps overwhelmed with happiness? :)
Your dedication to your father, may he rest in peace, is so touching.
Everything that Carra just said!
Plus, is he suggesting,with his hand signal, that she come forth in 5 minutes? If so, she's saying 10 in reply! Women! :D

i'm certain your dad was extremely proud of it...and you.
This illustration is wonderful in that it makes the viewer ponder the story it tells!

It has a sort of Toulouse Lautrec feel about it for me.
glad your back I missed you.

BEautiful ! :)
very wonderful mood, lighting, and colors!
Just wonderful! So much better and alive than a stuffy straight portrait :)
No doubt your dad's smiling at this. It's wonderful! I've been wondering about you and he. I'm sorry for your loss, but happy for you both that you were together.
Peace.
A very nice tribute. I like how you pay great attention to overall composition. Great textures too!
