Description
Acrylics painting featuring an old man waving goodbye to his grandson embarking to a new world.
My partner the British rock musician Kev Moore wrote a poem inspired by this painting:
"Goodbye, old friend, the world awaits
To show me sights first hand
That you have me taught ages past
The wonder of strange lands
And filled my head with dreams
That I was fated to pursue
In short, the path my future takes
Is chiefly down to you
You fired such an ambition
In my soul to see the world
That I really never doubted
How my life would be unfurled
So, as the fuelling lines
Are disconnected from the craft
IŽll miss our cosy fireside chats
Your deep infectious laugh
Filled with such curiosity
I questioned everything
You never failed to answer
And fixed me with a grin
Farewell old man, but IŽll be back
No reason to be sad
IŽll bring you tales to rival yours
Grandpa, I never had
