Ron Unruh Art Blog: MAKE IT SKIP DADDY

'MAKE IT SKIP DADDY’ - Kale is 11 years old now. In December he will turn twelve. Years ago in this painting I recaptured a moment when my grandson Kale was two and half years old. Here at Crescent Beach with our son Jeff, his daddy, they are examining a stone Kale picked up and he wants his daddy to skip it on the water as he has seen him do before. Jeff has kept this painting. I am glad that he treasures it as I treasure them.

RON'S ART STORY

"Visual art is my lifelong passion. College transportation was ’57 VW Beetle in exchange for a painting. Although planning a life as an artist, I invested forty years in pastoral work instead, completing graduate studies at master's and doctoral levels and have never regretted this choice. From 2002 until July 2008 I was head honcho (President) of an association of 150 churches in Canadian provinces. Upon retirement in ’08 I returned to the canvas to depict the faces and places of God's creation. I love the exacting art of pencil sketching, the impulsiveness of watercolour. I work with acrylic and oils. Colour thrills me. I relish contrasting darks and lights. Increasingly I use fewer strokes to produce recognizable subjects.”
