Portrait of my father toiling in his koi pond

[thatcrowwoman]

9. What a remarkable portrait! Right up close. Exquisite.

The topography of his face shows years of working hard and years of smiles and laughter.

I made him screen-sized and just gazed into his eyes awhile. The longer I looked, the more he seemed to become the face of a grand old tree-trunk, carved and gnarled and ruggedly magnificent. Blink, and he’s back at the pond, listening to his wife’s suggestions of where to place the plants.

Thank you for sharing your father’s evocative and heartwarming portrait, Tom Yossarian Joad.
