Old Painting...

Sam, Oil on canvas board, 12" x 18"




This was a commision I did for a former co-worker. Sam was her true friend and when he passed she wanted something to remember him by. This was only the third time I painted in oil. This painting is when I really started to like oil's and saw the potential for me to work in this medium. In, fact I took the money from this commision, went out and bought a bunch of oil paints, new brushes, mediums and the like. Unfortunatly, I not yet painting anything in oil and in fact this was the last painting I have done. That was over four or five years ago. That will change soon though.
