Father and Son

Here is an acrylic painting that I did of a father and son.  I am really proud of the way I captured their likeness.  My son said the the football shirt looked cool.  I am really getting the hand of acrylics.  I like their quick drying nature...acrylics force the artist to be "real".  As an artist, you don't have time to over think the painting.

I guess I'm back to blogging

Well a week ago I worked two long days at the Green River Fest in Greenfield, MA.  It was a blast.  Emmy Lou Harris was the headliner.  She was one hot mama and brought the house down at 64.  I cannot believe how busy I was especially on Saturday.  Started drawing at 1:45 and I never stopped until 10:15 pm.  I didn't get up once....not once.   I can't believe I didn't even go to the bathroom.  I enjoyed drawing everyone.  I can't believe how far people came from.  Upstate New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, and of course Greenfield.  Sleep was long this past Monday.  Here is a pic of me at work last weekend
