Fathers Day musings


Many of my paintings explore my childhood. Growing up in a Jehovah's Witness family, has given me plenty of source material!!! I also signed up for a double whammy when I came into this world as, alcoholism runs rampant in my lineage. Sometimes when I am going through a hard time, I am thankful that I don't resort to substances to numb the difficult feelings, just pure straight emotional pain for me. I some how escaped addiction to substances, but I do have the disease of "reaction". Anyhow, here is a painting I did long ago, featuring my dad and his beer and me as a floating saint.
