Dust Bowl

It has been a while since I have posted.  I just completed this painting last night and signed it, so that means I can't tweak it anymore.  I could mess with it forever, but at some point just have to call it done.  This is a sepia, oil on canvas, that I painted from a famous black and white photo from the Dust Bowl.  It seemed a bit intimidating when I first looked at this photo and wasn't sure if I would do in charcoal or oil, or even if it would turn out well.  This is my brother's favorite painting and I did this as a surprise to him by request of a friend.  Excited to deliver tomorrow evening.

Boots

Above is a painting I did one evening for a very sweet friend.  This was inspired by my brother and I was excited to be able to deliver this gift last night.
