So much to write about here…Dad, The Artist…The Dad, The Suit, The Husband. Where do I start. It will be our 45th wedding anniversary this year. He’s still my best friend.
The Artist is a good place to start. It was when Covid started and they locked us all up, (rat bstrds) if you know what I mean 😉 . He had very little to keep himself busy so he started to draw/sketch/paint everything. Now mind you I had been with this guy since 1976 and never once did I see him do anything associated with the art or painting. The only thing I knew about him and art was that whenever the kid’s had a project at school that required art, he was the guy. Here’s a few of his paintings …
He really is very good. He told me back then he had always wanted to be an artist and I really think he could have. He said that the best career move for an artist is death. I think he’s right. I asked him why he decided on college instead and he told me his mother said no way, you go to college and get a job. Thank you, mother. Starving Artist is a real thing and I know I did not want that. Nor do I like the career move of death. So he just keeps painting and sketching…He really is very talented !!!
He also loves his dog’s and they sure do love him !!!
A quick story on one of his pictures. It was a picture of, “The Last Supper.” This was his own creation from different renditions that he studied. That’s how he picks out what he’s going to paint. It sort of just speaks to him. Here’s the painting of, “The Last Supper.”
He had to do it with a couple different canvases and put them side by side. There were a total of three separate canvases. When he put them all together he asked me what I thought. Being who I am and my attention to detail, I counted the Apostle’s and there were 13…I said to him, “Why are there 13 Apostle’s ?” He said,” b/c I made myself the thirteenth Apostle. I’m the guy with the Apostle resting his head on his shoulder 😉 … ” Clever I thought. I wonder if the nun’s would approve…Probably not 😉 .
I should at least put up a picture of him as a suit. That’s what he does to pay the bills or as he says it, he likes to eat and live indoors 😉 . So do I and he’s made a great life for us both…I love you husband <3 !!!
He’s a great guy…My friend for life !!!!!
