It's nice to be home after a hard day at the job for Dad. Cares of the work day melt away in the warmth of home and hearth. The child is happy to connect with his daddy and grabs onto the big guy's shirt like he's never going to let go.
This piece is one of my favorite paintings of father and son. I thought you might enjoy it for Father's Day. There are reproductions of this image (and others) at my LifeImages gallery. You may also contact me for similar commissions.
Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and sometimes finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

Diana, this is just beautiful! A tender moment captured in this beautiful painting. Love the father's head turned away and the subtle shades of blue/aqua with white. Jeanne

I appreciate your remarks, Fellow Artists. It means a lot coming from both of you.
I enjoyed painting this piece and trying to capture that sweet bonding of father and infant son.
Emotionally and technically wonderful - a real beauty!
Hi Connie, I'm pleased to hear this spoke to you! This is the kind of painting that I really love putting together. Even though these sorts of pieces don't happen every day, I'm glad for the inspiration and time to paint them.
Beautiful handling of everything!
This is beautifully done - I love the placement of the fathers head, unusual but it works so well!
Bill, thanks for the kudos!
Jane, I really liked that just cropped look at the dad's hairline that shows with the turn of his head... kind of sweet.
