This painting was a challenge, but it was fun. I painted this for a client this Christmas. The subject was my clients father in law who had passed away a couple of years ago. She wanted a painting of him in front of his truck because he used his truck to go out and serve the less fortunate. The problem was that she didn't have a photo of him in front of the truck. So she had a friend pose with the truck and took a photo of him for me to paint from. I had to flip the photo, and take the head of her father in law from another photo (confusing you yet)?

Anyway when I got the drawing done, the painting was really fun. I felt the joy from this man's spirit as I painted. The painting was a gift for her husband, (I hope he liked it)!
