This painting is one of the last from this time period in my development as a painter. Inspired by a day on mushrooms hanging out by the dock, a perfect summer day by the water, now you can share it and spend a forever here with the pops!
Maybe dad enjoys a good BBQ, perfect for entertaining summer parties. Great for the man cave also, this juicy jumbo is cute and sweet and even comes with ketchup and mustard, she is one Hot Babe 🐷 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/201313136/hot-babe
Does father like fast cars? Does he love to be behind the wheel? To be fair -who doesn’t?

Maybe papa prides himself as man of the house, master of his domain, and king of the castle. This one’s for the more majestic approach, complete with crown, staff and cape and decked out in his jewels and armour, he even has a sidekick on his shoulder. This dad commands glory and attention!

It even comes as a wall tapestry for a more epic experience or how bout a lap top sleeve for the more tech savvy guy?
Does dad wear cologne? You could get this Salvador-Dali-inspired, very manly scent for him😂 They say Dali used to smear goat dung on himself to attract the ladies, so I figured why not a fishy cologne? Sure to help him attract and win friends! Original at https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/412734458/leau-de-poisson?ref=shop_home_active_44
Maybe the patriarch is your classic working stiff, grinding the 9 to 5, putting up a good fight and providing for his family -nothing wrong with that. He works hard and puts in an honest day’s work, this is one of my personal favourites.

Finally, if he’s anything like my own dad or the father of my baby to be, he’s really into raccoons and night vision!
