Those drawings and paintings are so beautiful! Maybe your grandpa just had a lot of creativity inside him that he needed to share.
For me, there's something cathartic about getting it out on paper, or just out into the world somewhere.
Painting/creating/crafting/writing is relaxing to me. Even just blogging on steemit feels good. It's nice to create knew things, share knowledge and put it out there in the world.
I've been having so much fun sharing travel adventures and tips.
I'm wasn't inside your grandpa's head though, so I can't truly know, I can only imagine and guess and try to relate. He's way more talented at art than I am, though.
I feel like I got to travel through time with these portraits.
This is random, but did you ever watch the cartoon movie "Aristocats?" One of the bridge paintings looks like it came straight from that movie.
Your grandpa could have been a disney artist! Thanks for sharing these treasures with us!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and sharing what does it for you :)
And a big fat YES to Aristocats! Loved that movie - had completely forgotten about the bridge so had to go look it up again.
His art can be very cartoony at times, which is often what people (either family or here on steemit) seem to be attracted to.
Happy that you like it :)
Will go check out your travel blogs.
Haha I'm glad you like Aristocats too!
