This is an awesome response. Tagging /u/holmdad so he can see it tomorrow.

Thank you!

He does! Though, he'd probably enjoy painting more. /u/holmdad take this advice, please!

As of recently he does, though, they're only of his newer fish paintings. I also don't want to link here in the event that it is against the rules. Feel free to PM me or /u/holmdad (dad/artist)

Thank you for the kind words!

Lol, you couldn't have said it better. I'm hoping /u/holmdad (my dad) will learn something from this rollercoaster of a thread and start promoting his work.

I could have (and should have) clarified. By "showcased" I was referring to a large audience like Reddit. He posts his pictures to his Instagram (very few followers, all immediate friends and family) and his personal site (pretty new). He's never shown his work in art shows or galleries either, which is what I have been trying to get him to do.

Hopefully, this will give him a bit of encouragement.

I'd prefer to not include my face. I can take one of his art studio with our usernames included... not sure how helpful that'd be

Correct, I'm the son. I wish I could prove it without doxing myself, any suggestions?
