Just finished my first portrait painting. This is my dad and my uncle Tommy who passed away last summer. I used a photo my step mom had taken behind her house. This is going to be my Dad's birthday present, so if you are in my family don't tell! 18x24 oil on canvas

  1. wow. and oil at that. i've never seen any of your people art, but this is really detailed. i do believe you could've improvised a rain barrel or something to the right for balance. you're on your way to greatness. remember us little people.

  2. or a chopping log with an axe stuck in it. or a cartoon balloon next to your dad's head saying: "she'll shoot ya!"

  3. Nice Nice painting - An honorable gift - I disagree with Steve about adding or the right - The relationship between Dad & Tommy is the power of the painting - I would have cropped it fairly tight right - These brothers are saying a lot to me - HERB
