What Brought About this Painting?

My Grandpa was a wonderful "Pop-Pop". He had the greatest sense of humor and he loved all his Grandkids - there were a lot of us too. Although this mini forest of birch trees and path through the trees is an original painting by me, it is an imaginary walk of a boy, his dog and his Granddad through the woods on the dirt road through them.

For many of us that had loving grandparents when we were little, I am sure we all have some treasured memory of time spent with Grandma and with Grandpa, and maybe one of them was going for a walk.

Painting in Progress: Going for a Walk with Grandpa

From my previous post, I do not claim to be a painter of humans (certainly not at this time anyway). But I could not resist trying to get a distant person(s) in a painting needed to be in this painting idea.

Painting in Progress Images…

This is a tentative title for this painting, as I have a thought as to where I want to go with it. "You know the saying, the best laid plan of mice and men..." but I hope to have an image of a grandpa walking with his grandchild(ren) .. through a forest path. Something like that.

It amazes me how gosh darn ugly (my) acrylic paintings start out! The base coat is just trying to get some color down over the gesso. I have seen videos where an artist just starts laying down color and you immediately know where he or she is going and it looks great at the first few strokes. When I grow up as a painter, that's what I'd like to be able to do.

Does anyone have a great story in remembering their Grandpa? I had a GREAT Grandpa, well you know, a fantastic Grandpa (everyone has a great-grandpa) and I have plenty of cousins that would agree to how funny and great our Grandpop was (also known as Pop-Pop). 

Our Grandmother was too, but Grandpop was the one with the big glorious sense of humor. And the most fantastic giggle. Yep, Grandpop was a giggler. Usually when he was trying to get a rise out of Grandma.

Looks like some Birch trees grew in there. <- That said in my imitation Bob Ross voice.

See! Grandpop showed up in the painting! Just took awhile because the grandchild was doodling along...
