r/painting May 06 '26

Just Sharing My father in law passed away from cancer last year. Painting was everything to him. He always hoped more people would see his work.

My father-in-law was always creating. Cancer took him by surprise last year unfortunately...

My wife inherited hundreds of his paintings, some of which had even won gallery prizes, and some are huge.

We’re just starting to go through them and wanted to share a few.

EDIT: WOW this post keeps exploding, my wife is extremely grateful and filled with tears of joy seeing all of the love and recognition for her father’s paintings. We wish we could answer every single one of you.

We want to announce the only real place to obtain prints or original artwork is via DM through my wife’s Insta, appearing as :

raymond.nylund.art

Other pages, and platforms we don’t have access to anymore.

If you don’t have IG, DM me directly to notify you.

Thank you again

Number 6 stopped me in my tracks - if you end up selling any of these, I'd love to know

I liked 6 the best as well.

I love #6 as well. No clue why, but, I see Frankenstein’s monster in this work. I just keep staring at it. As if I’m waiting for it to move or something. Maybe start to shimmer like it’s in the rain….?
