Artwork Description

My Father's Carvings


0.0 x 0.0


Watercolour, digital illustrations of my father's wood carvings that he would make and sell. It was always a family affair, the sell. We'd walk all over the place in many of the cities and towns we lived in. One time, we were so tired from walking and started crying from exhaustion and after he sold a carving, he bought us a special gift from the dollar store. We never had a car and that's what we'd do all the time, was go with him to museums, friendship centres, people's houses sometimes. He was an amazing artisan.
