Still Up by Skylar Brown

A wonderful portrayal of your Dad, he does look very sad, tired and deep in thought.

Carole - Thank you so very much for your comment. I was looking for something to paint, when this moment cropped up. (I did a similar piece several years ago, but it wasn't specifically about my Dad.)

A powerful scene that’s full of atmosphere, excellent work Skylar , yo had certainly put your emotions into this one.

Thank you, Paul! This painting was a bit of an emotional moment for me.

Classy portrait. The clock at to the tension

Martin - Thanks so much! And another thanks for spotting the clock, for it does comment on the narrative.

A touching moment in time, expertly painted.

It looks like me

Tremendous

Thanks so much, Roger!

Rickert - Thank you for the comment...His mother was a Westphal, German-Dutch, his father was Irish. Who Knows!

Chris - Thank you very much!

That’s a moving scene, Skylar.

Thank you very much, Federico!

A very poignant and wonderful painting Skylar, full of stories in each item.

This is to me the best use of painting Skylar, capturing a moment, an emotion, a personal memory of your dad. It’s a superb result which no one else could have achieved as you have.

This is a lovely way of honouring your Dad's memory with real feeling.

You have portrayed raw emotion in a very beautiful way Skylar. A painting to be very proud of.

Heather - Thank you! That was a hard time for the family. I'm glad that comes across.

Tessa, Bobbie, Carole - Thank you very much for your insightful comments!

Brilliant portrayal of your Dad, emotion captured so sensitively.

Sandra - I appreciate your observations very much. Thank you!
