Father's Day 2020

For Father's Day I decided to attempt a watercolor 

of Dad based on a photo I took in Florida when we were 

watching the sun rise over the ocean a few miles away.

Dad helped us all learn principles of photography, 

and especially a greater appreciation of the beauties 

of God's creation, through much-anticipated slideshows 

whenever a batch of film was developed in years past.

Having previously mentioned the new watercolor paper 

that made skies so much more fun to attempt painting, 

I must admit that my next try was a huge flop!



I let that dry and flipped the paper over to try again 

the next day - with a different technique.



A photo can't capture the colors correctly, and my

painting is far from perfect, but I learned more about 

watercolor as I finished this gift for Dad.

Father's Day itself contained the gift of family-time 

as we celebrated two fathers (and a grandfather)!









This little guy is so strong, he was climbing out of 

his dad's arms during our tour of my dad's gardens!
