@farouk i wished you lived close by. You could come for a meal. My husband speaks so fondly of you. You would be a good friend of the family.

@VictoryinJesus Oh, YW. This is a good canvas that you painted! reminds me of a port and shipping reflected in the harbour, or in NYC's East River, etc. Maybe something like this is what inspired you? or was it mean to be purely abstract as to the way you felt? I guess it's partly a matter of the feeling that the colours, the light, the shade, any representational aspect, any abstract aspect, etc. all blend into one another as an expression of you the artist's deep feeling.

This is maybe one reason why your daughter would probably really thrive as a tattoo artist, with all that skill; not just as a business (although there is and must be that side of it also) but also in answer to how she as an artist feels. Important that the human canvas feels the artistic design concept also; I think your daughter would probably have a particular flair for establishing such a fellow feeling with any tattoo clients she might eventually have.

The main photo, above, does indeed stand out as really superb artwork: so painstaking.

@farouk yes, but I have one of her first hanging on my wall. Titled: Sorrow. I loved it so much she gave it to me.

@farouk told my daughter this morning all the nice encouraging things you say about her work. She wanted me to tell you thank you.

@VictoryinJesus Interesting title there, 'Sorrow'; I reckon it's because she put a lot of expression into it.

So has your daughter done any more of these woodcuts lately?

Here is your thread with the wood burning picture itself...

There is something really intense, tasteful, colourful and absorbing about the way the ink is pressed into the surface....

@VictoryinJesus So have you or any of the family done any more artwork lately?

(I know the Christmas period is busy with all sorts of things, so maybe it's hard to find time to sit down and do it...)
