Artist unknown
I was blessed with a wonderful Dad and while I miss him every day, I am thankful for his legacy that lives on through my children. I wanted to share these words from Susie Larson's Father's Day blessing (her complete thought can be seen at http://on.fb.me/1fqIeSF): "Whether you had a father who loved you or a father who was absent, know this: you have a Father in heaven who is very much taken with you."
These artists have done a great job conveying loving relationships between fathers/grandfathers and children. Do any of these paintings bring up sweet memories for you - or just make you smile? [Click on images to enlarge]

DeleteMy favorite has to be "The New Boss" There is something about daddies holding up their babies over their heads... the love and trust that flows it just inspiring and I'm so glad to see it in art.

I love the one of the little girl caught playing on her daddy's desk. These pictures bring back special memories of my own daddy. I enjoyed this. Be sure to link up with Literacy Musing Mondays this week.
