I whipped out this painting during a Father’s Day weekend getaway to visit my dad’s home in Sun Valley, ID. As my father had just won a battle with throat cancer I was eager to visit and reconnect. I decided to pull out a compact canvas that I had stashed in my bag with the intention of stealing a bit of time for myself. Amid the banter of my dad and stepmother (Pop-pop and Helenma as they are fondly known by all), at the kitchen table, inspiration hit me, and I found myself immersed in creating this painting.
Opting for a color scheme that echoed the soothing tones of sea foam green, rich chocolate brown, and deep maroon, I embarked on a journey to capture the ambiance of a winter stroll. Coinciding with Father’s Day, the scene I was painting naturally drew my dad into it. In my mind’s eye, I placed him amidst the landscape, and I could almost feel his presence as he sang Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” – a song he absolutely adores. I painted him sporting his beloved little green cap, walking with his ski pole, and gazing at the enchanting trees that surrounded him. Dad named the art, ‘Into the Light’, but I renamed it ‘Pop-pop’s Path’ in honor of him and in gratitude that God spared him to remain with us for a little longer. When I look at this piece, I can almost hear the snow falling.
Here is the actual letter that accompanied the gift:
June 18, 2023
Dear Dad,
Happy Father’s Day! This painting is of you and: for you. You are wearing your favorite green “ja-ket”, sporting your cap, carrying your walking sticks, whistling (ok-humming) Louis Arnstrong’s “It’s a Wonderful World’ while looking at the beautiful trees. While you almost pre-titled this “Into the Light; I officially renamed it, “‘Pop pop’s Path” (because I’m the artist: and I get to!)
If you were to die today, I’d want you to know that you are very much loved and respected. We are indeed not equal in our strengths, talents, DNA, gifts, looks, weight, size, brains etc, but we are all equal with our right to life and God’s one-in-a-million choice to live a full life. That being said, I want you to know that we are always striving to be a better human, God loves you just as you are. YOU ARE ENOUGH! Enough light, enough height, enough bright!, and of course, enough FORGIVEN!
All this to say I love you and am so grateful for the time together fighting the Big C! You won! Woo!
Love,
Heather
