Hi Folks! So this here is the first-ever painting that took me a whole darn week to finish!
This is a gift to my wife on our wedding anniversary! When my 2.8 year told son Rohan saw it, he immediately pointed to the man and the child and said “Daddy and Rohan”, and thats how the painting got its name.
Your comments and criticism is most welcome, as always : )
Acrylic on pre-streched canvas. 50 x 70 cm

Love it Javed. Your son comment is great, it is the pure love in your world from your son, great! I have few forest scenes like that but none as good, well done. Off-course I also don’t have daddy and Rohan in them.. and you can tell they are missing..
Thank You so much Doron for your kindness!
I have seen your forest scenes and they are brilliant. You bring out the beauty in an otherwise very ordinary scene.
A week and well worth it – but still, not so long for such a nice painting. And what a brilliant present! Hand-made is always the way to go – from the heart and soul.
Thank You Kaitlyn, I’m glad you like my idea :) yes handmade is always special.
Beautiful!
So beautiful Tahir ! What a wonderful gift for anniversary and what a lovely name !
Love the colours!
What a beautiful gift for your wife! I’m sure she’ll love it! :)
Thanks Joelle, yes she seems pretty happy :)
Beautiful painting. Your colours and of course the composition lead me in. Your wife must have been pleased, and especially with her two men in it!
Thanks Jennier, yes, putting her two men in it was the idea which in my opinion gives it such a personal touch :)
very differently done.I like the depth that you’ve created ! God bless The Family ! happiness always..
karunita.
Thanks a lot Karunita, yes this is rather different from my previous works, for one I tried to use as few vibrant colours as possible, so the sky is all grey insted of bright blue.
I love this, the colours and the composition; well worth the weeks work!
I’m so glad you like it. Thanks for your kind words.
Lovely piece. The trees look so inviting – makes me feel as though I want to walk that path with you both! Nicely done.
You’re most welcome to come join us Patricia :)
Thanks for liking and your positive feedback, gives me more confidence!
All I can say is WOW!!!! :)
All I can say is THANKS!!!! :D
That’s so beautiful! looks like you didn’t need to find another model – what’s more perfect than you and your son!?
Thank You Harriet! Indeed, I was just thinking of maybe trying a portrait of him :)
yes do! Lots of quick colour sketches and a few photos – that’s what I’ve found best for doing portraits of children; they don’t like to sit still for too long! :)
Lovely painting Javed! And thanks for liking my poem :) I’m still pretty new to WordPress (As in 1 day ^^) So all feedback is much appreciated <3
Thank You su much dansendevos!
Your poem is lovely indeed and as you’re new I’d suggest to perhaps start with adding a small intro of yourself :)
Its always interesting to know a bit about the artist behind the creations. :)
Thanks for your tip :)
Truth to tell it has been in the back of my mind since creating this blog yesterday and it’s proving to be something of a challenge. I feel a bit awkward introducing myself :D
I am working on it though!
You’re welcome Johanna and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Looking forward to read more about you :)
Beautiful painting, good job! I love how tall the tress are in the contrast to the human shapes. What a great gift to make and to receive!
Aww Thank You Lexa! Yes it was a good idea but I don’t wanna make a habbit of it :D
Fantabulous :) I love this one :)
Thanks :)
Love the aspens, and the color of the sky, you can almost feel the coolness of the air as you wonder down the path gazing at the tree tops and wondering what lies beyond for you and young Rohan. You have captured the moment that all us with children wish we could always have and never forget. There is a since of peace and eventuality to the piece that offer hope and joy. Job well done! This one is one of my favorites of yours, take care my friend.
Brad, you should be a writer! You were able to express exactly my thoughts and feelings and so eloquently as I could never have done. :)
Thank You my friend!
Your wife must have loved this, and what an heirloom for your son! It makes me homesick. There was a lot of birch where I grew up in the Canadian north – I can put my hands on them.
Please forgive my second comment, but I still have a little strip of birch bark on which my eldest son wrote the words: I Love You. The words have faded with time, but I will always know what they say.
What a nice and cherished memory for You :)
Charming painting and how proud you must be of your son. Very well done!
This is amazing… love the name and how it got the name too :) in the painting I love the haze and everything :)
I’m so glad you like it too :)
Oh my! I feel as if I can feel these trees they look so amazing! Great job with the texture and patterns on the trees,
very cute story too :))
-Kaitlyn Fletcher
I like these trees a lot too :) Thanks!
Great painting, it reminds me somehow of a Monet.
Why, Thank You Sandra! Thats quite an honour, you made my day :)
lovely! really great piece, you should be proud. and i’m sure ur wife loved it!
Thanks Anna! Indeed, she did :)
And this is one of the few landscapes that was done without using any photo-reference, meaning purely from my imagination, so it is now one of my favourite works too.
For me this is your best painting so far – perhaps because the colours are a bit more subtle for my taste. There’s an air of strangeness which is a bit surreal – I suppose it’s to do with the combination of the naive style (it’s almost a bit iconic somehow) along with the motif which leads you to invent stories. I’m sure your wife must be really happy with it. Best wishes for 2013.
Thank You very much Sonya! Yes she is, and a very happy new year to You too. :)
amazing work you have done here…love your paintings :) Thanks for sharing
