And I thought ... that I was better than my daughter!!
She painted this painting virtually in an hour
She painted this painting virtually in an hour
or two and showed me who was better since I
would take weeks to make a painting - in fact I painted
for only a year or so - and then gave up painting
altogether because it was too hard for me!

Serena - this is a comment from your father - you are a choppy painter unlike your name and always remain so
With love from your Pop
Simply fantastic!! That too in an hour!!! When I was young, my Dad used to say that I can become a good painter. But now I cant even sign a painting in an hour!

clouddancer143: You both are very good at the style of art that you draw, and to me the race is too close to call on who is better.But between you and I my dear, anytime a child can learn from the parent and go one better should be a great sorce of pride for the parent.Kudo to you both for the beautiful artwork.
A comment I received through email-
Dear dad and daughter,
This was a wonderful surprise from Serena (just as the dad had sprung a similar surprise a couple of years ago) I was awestruck by the beauty of the painting. You both are immensely talented and it is hard to say who is better than the other. But ofcourse, Serena is a budding talent and with her whole life before her, I am confident she will make her mark as an artist (and a journalist and an author and a filmmaker and et all) You make us proud Serena!
All the best to you,
With love,
Sujata

Dear Mr. Menon,
Indeed your daaughter's creation is as awesome as yours, except that her speed that was faster- they ahve rightly said that child is the father of man. Kudos to you both. Keep us exhilerated by your creations.
With Love

Another comment I received on the email sent by my favourite teacher when I was in school :-
Dear Deepak
I think and know it that Abha is certainly a wonderwoman..considering
what all she is coping with especially ..you
I do not know about you or your daughter being a better artist..but
you will always be lovable..no matter what..to me
As is always, no one beats my dearest sis or pop when it comes to artistic expression...
Lot of love...
serena, beautiful. your art reminded me of something i wrote, inspired by a painting such as yours:
a symphony of blue
or is there a whisper of green
all scales of blue
silence-to-crescendo
the deep longing
grows white wings
out of the milky foam
to scale the skies
the heart gets a glimmer
of the mystery of it all
as the steamer reaches the pier
of today, tomorrow, and the day after...
Well, you should be proud of your daughter. It's fantastic! I just wish to be able to do half of the work she made!
Cheers,
Quynh
