Ladder to Dad

[Artyczar]

This one is big (for me). Ladder to Dad, oil on canvas, 48 x 60 inches.

See Sno. I told you that springy horse shows up again.

Yep, there he is, I bet there is a lot of symbolism in this one. Well done.

 

[Lazarus]

Amazing work. how, why and what does it means to you the idea of this work?

 

[Enyaw]

Good color coordination.

 

[Nufocus]

Just love it!!

 

[Nufocus]

48X60?!? Wow!! Grab a pile of money for it at the forthcoming show!

 

[ntl]

That's a winner for sure!

 

[Terri]

Wow! There's so much here to love I hardly know where to start! The swirls in the sky, the soft palette - all the pink and blue and yellow - makes me so happy to look at it. Plus I love those springy rides!

Excellent work! Thanks to @Lazarus for resurrecting this thread.

 

[Artyczar]

Yes, thank you to Lazarus for bringing this back to life. I really appreciate that.

Thank you to everyone who has commented on this piece. It took a month to paint it because it is a larger piece for me. It's actually 40 x 60 inches, not 48. I got it confused with a different one. Still large.

Lazarus, This is a kind of fantasy painting of the desert and goes with a series of other pieces I did with things in desolation containing items that don't belong there. The ladder leads up to the sky, and I named it "Ladder to Dad" because my father may live up there? I don't know where the dead go after they die, but it was a nice thought I had after the painting was finished. Thank you for asking.

 

[Lazarus]

A month? and i thought i work so hard on one piece of work. i thought father means to our creator, but in a similar way our creator are really our fathers (part of it). really beautiful stuff, great little story behind that work. and the work itself well done.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you!

 

[Bongo]

Don't know how I missed this the first time around - impossible not to love.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you very much Bongo.

 

[Donna T]

I'm glad this is big - it's deserves to be! I admire all of it but especially the subtle lines in the sky ... like a gentle breeze.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you Donna. I appreciate that. The lines were done with a toothpick, carved into the paint.

 

[Perry]

One of my favorites of yours!

 

[Trier]

Beautiful, Arty.
I missed this too and am so glad I found it now.
I knew almost immediately about the ladder.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you very much Perry!
You too Trier. I am so flattered.
