Help me help another

A friend of my dads recently lost his wife and is now in the hospital.
He is depressed and I want to draw him something simple but cheerful.
what should I draw, and what kind of colors should it have on it?

Do you know what sort of thing he likes?

I've found that my little animal doodles tend to make people smile or laugh. I'd say use nice bright colours; blue, purple, green, red, etc.

I agree with Ren, but bright colors may be too much.

I'd stick with something simple, not too cheerful since it's only natural to grieve and you don't want to blind sight him with something COMPLETELY OPPOSITE to what he is feeling. Think of a postcard or Hallmark letter. What would they make for a situation like this?

Think beautifu and serene. Maybe even a got dang rainbow in the sky or something. Like hope after a storm? Personally, I'd draw something like a nice nature scene with a tree AND a rainbow in the background with a nice comforting quote or saying or a note you write yourself [which will probably have more meaning].

Sorry for his loss. ):

I'd say natures good, but i disagree about a rainbow, i think it's pushing cheesy. Mabey birds or like ren suggested animals

Not sure about the drawing,but pastel toned colors would be good,since they are not too bright but still are colorful.

Birds are always a winner; namely doves, at that. Hm, you could draw a picture with a bird in some sort of tree, with a sunrise/sunset in the background, in order to give it a nice and calm-like feeling. =)

I would say to stick to cooler colors. Mostly blues and greens.

With maybe hints of warm colors?

It would just keep it a bit calmer.
