{"product_id":"0-3-lost","title":"#0-3 – Kadunud – originaalmaaling","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"466\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA landscape painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon, original painting created in heavy body acrylic on canvas. \u003c\/span\u003e“Lost” was one of the very few paintings my Father saw before his illness which was sadly followed by his death a few years later. I remember his face when I showed him; one never gets too old to show your parents what you have created. I’ve always had a lot of hobbies and interests, more than a single lifetime would allow. Near the very end of his life my Father told me that I should pick one passion and do it. He said, “you should paint”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003eTo say his death hit me hard is an understatement, but it was then that I made a promise to myself to make 100 paintings in five years. I didn’t know what I was doing, I didn’t have a “style”, and I didn’t know what it would take to reach that goal. I worked every single day for three hours minimum. After working on a number of paintings, I found myself focused on the colour and expression of each piece. At the time I completed this painting titled “Lost”, I began seeing results; people were referring to my work as colourful, expressive, and healing. The pain of my father’s death gave my life new meaning and painting became my passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1794\"\u003eMany years and hundreds of paintings later, my heart is content with the knowledge that I have fulfilled my promise to my father. With the ongoing, tremendous love and encouragement of my Mother, painting saved my life and I am forever grateful to my parents for pushing and encouraging me to find my one true passion. From the very first painting I ever made, I knew that this was what I was meant to do with my life. The act of painting is cathartic for me; it allows me to channel all of my emotions into something beautiful. Every painting is a piece of my soul and I am so grateful to be able to share them with the world. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for everything. I love you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeff Dillon Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47004252766457,"sku":"0-3D","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7586\/4057\/files\/JDFA_WebPrintProdImgs_Orig_0-F.jpg?v=1766534501","url":"https:\/\/jeffdillon.ca\/et\/products\/0-3-lost","provider":"Jeff Dillon Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
