So, a group of friends in Edmonton decided to get together and make art that would amp up the aesthetics of these function-over-form structures. I was honored to be included in this group.
The theme was Father's Day (#poppaart), and this is what I came up with:
 |
| acrylic on wood, 27"x48", Dad c.1975 |
The adventure of putting up unsolicited art was quite fun, and the look on my Dad's face when he saw his portrait hanging on a tree on Father's Day, was priceless.
Hopefully, nobody walks off with the picture... But it is the public domain, so I guess 'art getting jacked' is all part of the process.If someone does appropriate this portrait, I just hope they're nice to my Papa.

ReplyDeletethanks, lisa! see you soon:)
ReplyDeleteWell, this just makes me smile. I love you AND your art. And I'm so glad you get to share it in this way, even if it means taking the risk that some one member of the vast public may appropriate the image of your dad c.1975 and make it their very own. :) (I promise it won't be Adam and I...!!).
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Really enjoyed catching up with your blog. What a great painting. There were so many amazing views - I could have painted many more too
