I thought some folks here might like to see this...
A friend of mine from our church asked if I would do a little painting for a Christmas gift to his mom. He wanted a picture his dad,(deceased) who was a postman, playing his '50s Fender Stringmaster with his faithful black lab by his side. His dads brother by the way was 'the' Slim Whitman.
The painting is a 6x6 on canvas and not meant to be a realistic portrait but it has the key elements. I heard it was well received, so I thought I would offer the same service to any steelers here who might like something similar. I'll post details for that in the For Sale, etc section of the forum....

| Glad ya'll like it! To answer you Jim, I do paint other styles from serious realism (see website in profile) to lighthearted fun things like this. My wife and I recently opened an art gallery with our work and a dozen or so other good artists. If you'd like to see a sampling check out OutOfOurHandsGallery.com |

Touching tribute and really well executed. I really like how you approached everything..the simplicity.
