I went to a friend's house several weeks ago and showed her some pictures of oil paintings I used to do in my younger days. Some of which I have shared them here before.
So later that night, I asked my dad on the phone if he still remembers where he kept this old painting we used to call 'Saddam Hussein'? Because I am keen to show it to this friend of mine. So very promptly after our evening chat, dad went to organise to have this picture snapped and emailed to me.
Oh my my I haven't seen this for a long time. I could not believe my eyes!
I think I was either 16 or 17 years old then... will need to ask dad to verify this!
Anyhow I think it was quite good for such a young age and it is definitely one of my most favourite pieces of art.
Disclaimer: This man in portrait bears no resemblance to Saddam Hussein (apart from having a thick moustache). It was merely a joke between me and my dad...
By the way, I have a painting of my dad as well. Shall share it soon =)
