I did this at the weekend for my Wellbeing Creativity group. It is meant to be a happy memory.

I have no photos of my childhood family all together. And certainly none at Christmas which was the only time I saw my dad.

I've diagnosed him in death as autistic. For many reasons including that her wore those same clothes for over 40 years.

I've used those clothes to represent us both being autistic. I didn't really wear those clothes.

Because it is a childhood scene I have the excuse of my childish painting methods and skill (I've not painted since school)

It’s a priceless memory and your picture cheers me up! Do I assume correctly that you are the one next to your dad wearing the same clothes as him? 

Yes - that's little me. I didn't have a brown cardigan, but it represents me being the same as my dad who always wore a brown cardigan from at least when I was born to when he died. I'm glad it cheers you up too!
