Illumination

Illumination, 10 by 12 inches, oil
This was the last painting that I my father enjoyed and appreciated, yes, I lost my dear father as the new year began and I can feel some area of my life losing its illumination for ever. He was the only one who encouraged me to paint everyday and strongly believed that I have some talent.Right now, I am struggling to come out of my creative block and soon will be back to my paints. I am sorry, I havent been able to visit the blogs that I usually do and I will soon catch up with them. Thanks for looking.
