A Father's Touch
With the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of summer's sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of eagles' flight, Combining all these qualities, Nothing more to add, A masterpiece complete, And so we called him Dad... |

In creating A Father's Touch , Artist Ray Simon reveals a deep abiding expression of the life lived so well. The painting unfolds moment after moment leading to the closing chapter in the presence our father. Expressed as children walking together hand-in-hand with their father on the path of life, through both moments of warmth and illumination and moments of darkness beneath the canopy of trees, his assuring touch remains constant. Skillfully brought together they express a confluence of these powerful symbols commingled these poignant moments with Dad. |
| A father's love and support given freely and unconditionally flow uniquely from each element. From the newborn's first grasp of father's finger at both sunrise and sunset , to the comforting embrace on Dad's shoulder, to quiet times on placid waters, to special times with dad on the ball field, each theme evokes a sense of the knowing father and his special unending bond with those he loves. A father's strength and unwavering love are symbolized in the manifestation of the oak tree and mountain, while the warmth and assurance of his calming presence glistens through the artist's careful attention to light and contrasting shadow from the clouds, trees, and reflection off the water. |
| A Father's Touch stirs memories of a playful child, summons up intimate recollections of the embrace of a loving Dad, comforts and assures the innocence of a child, reminds us that his touch is never ending, and allows us to pass his touch down from generation after generation. |
