Description
Kind of remembrance of my father
He passed away three years ago
94 years of age
The passion of his life was violins
he played, but not so well
but he built them, even in his last years
At age 92 he made his 54th violin
he could not see, he could not hear
but his hands knew
Our relation was not so good
guess I was not an easy child
and he surely was no easy father to deal with
Not until his last year in life
I could look at him with forgiveness and love
So I felt I had to do this image
for my own sake
it is no masterpiece
just a collage of pieces
in a square frame
a little like him :-)
Peace to you, my father!

Excellent work of art and a wonderful tribute!!!
Very touching. Very beautiful. --- It's almost for all of us very difficult to to deal with our own feelings concerning our passed elders... You've made it so respectfully and understanding. And yet honestly in your words supporting so greatly the picture. It is a master piece, at least for me.
Oooooh Gun! U're making me cry!! :( This is too moving for my too sensitive self....
I have to echo wildfire (above) - when you put so much of yourself into an artistic piece such as this, it is a masterpiece. What a wonderful tribute to your father, and an awesome example of expressive portraiture.
a private glimpse into you, deep & moving words... a very beautiful & touching tribute to your father... hugz :]
every litle detail reveals so much and blends so well with your words Gun!!!! respect ;0]
I think this is beautiful! I love the soft sepia tone (perfect for the subject matter). And I like the musical notes overlaying the image...subtle enough not to distract attention, yet legible. Very sensitive piece...your father would love it :)
Wonderful moving tribute to your father.
Not my father either is easy to be with. Am I? Huh! no... Do we understand eachother? We hope so. Do we want to be understood while we're alive? No question about it. So I know what you mean with it. I can relate to my situation a bit. Anyways, beautiful work as always. Hugz.
This is so fitting to my mood at the moment Gun... as expected, my aunt finally passed away today after battling with lung cancer. She'd quit smoking a few years ago but then started again. She was only 56. I'm not in a state, just feeling a bit numb, and sad for her family.
Thank you for sharing your dad's memory with us, I see so much love here, no wonder you set Pascale off... as I said, it's just very appropriate to how I feel right now. Thank you so much :-)
Eccellente lavoro, VOTE!!!
thank you for communicating this so well.
A beautiful tribute Gun, deeply tender & touching. So very well composed this is everything a portrait should be & more!
Excellent artimage!! v
Beautiful tribute and image. How fascinating that your father created violins. This is simply lovely, Gun.
I think perhaps you have your father's strength and that makes our relationships with our similar in nature parent that much more difficult~ I wonder if you carry the "why" didn't you protect me question,as I do.Well,our fathers did not know how~Precious,forgiving and loving,this is a beautiful tribute to your father who had a dream for his new born daughter those years ago,as all fathers do and did his best to do what he was able to.It is what a parent is unable to do that stays with us and causes the issues that arise.It was not you dear woman~ do and this we will not forget~
I luv this type of work - I understand your comment - for me viewing without that in mind brings out a special quality in this work -
Wonderful collage !
I see a Masterpiece of love and understanding. It is a beautiful tribute to him and I cried as I read your words of him and the relationship.(I am too sentimental I guess)I love the way you balanced out the images and gave it depth. It is a beautiful piece of Art.
Det h hade kunnat vara min bild och min text ... Tack Gun! Du har uttryckt en del av mina [blandade] kslor/erfarenheter ang min far :)
