Father

http://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/fathers/

(elements by Rina Kroes, Jeri Ingals and Kathryn Balint)

My father... He was an architect, painter, sculptor, photographer.

The world was a passion to his eyes and mind: he was an eternal traveller.

Above all, he was a serious and honest man.

These words are perfect about our relationship:

"He didn't tell me how to live; he lived and let me watch him do it."

(Quote by Clarence Budington Kelland)

I'm a lucky person!
