My favorite Oil Painting by my Grandfather H Malek
This is one of my favorite paintings by my Grandfather. I remember when we all went over to his house to visit him, this painting was just freshly finished. There is something about this painting that was mesmerizing. I think it is the shade of green he used, but also the brush strokes. It was so gorgeous we all fell in love with it in a second! And the bidding started as to who is next in turn to own one of his paintings! I always did feel bad for my Grandpa, he was so generous he even gave away his paintings to strangers who like his work. So we figured well at least if we owned them within the family, we would always treasure them and keep them safe within the family.
Well there was some contest about this particular one! Ha ha, because when we first saw it, it was not yet dry, it stayed with my Grandpa. Later on, there were discussions about what the decision was as to who would take this one. Well, I can report it wasn’t me! But it is still in the family.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
