I loved The Hare with Amber Eyes - but I agree, better to leave the objects at home! Wonderful portraits of your dad and his brother, I especially love the way your father looks at the camera so confidently. My grandmother passed away last month, and I found similar photos-on-tin of her and my grandfather in their things. They are treasures. But they also remind me that I should be printing out some of the photos from my phone! All of these pictures that we're all taking these days are likely to just disappear into nothingness.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your father, Victoria. The love really comes through in the portrait that you're painting...
Thanks for this-- I'm glad that the love shows through because there were so many other feelings too, all mixed together. But there was a lot of love in both directions, which I want to honor.
And yes, let's keep all these artifacts safe for posterity...!
