My parents have been friends with and fans of a local artist for many years. Â His name is Andy Smith. Â You can see his works here.
Last year my mother gave my father four lessons with Andy as a gift. Â My dad dove into these lessons the same way he approaches everything in life, with full gusto!
Turns out my dad really has some talent. Â We’ve all been impressed by the watercolors he’s created.
Last weekend Andy had an open house for his students. Â We went to support my dad and it turns out he was placed next to his best friend who has also been taking classes. Â It was a fun time and I was really impressed by works from all of Andy’s students.
I was especially proud of my dad and his beautiful watercolors.
You can see the students’ works here. Â Just click on “my students’ paintings” on the right hand side. Â Then scroll down a bit until you see Jim Tanner. Â These are my dad’s works.
I told him that I’d really love one of his works for my birthday this year. Â I wonder which one he’ll pick out for me?
