what happens when you take
this and
this?
the perfect gift for your new brother-in-law, that's what!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
of course though, there is a story behind this {but then again, you could probably tell that from g's face!}
it all started about two/ two and a half years ago. when i visited g at his house in chapel hill, i noticed this terribly empty hallway and told him he needed a big painting. his answer was that he would only hang some art on the wall if, and only if, i painted him a portrait of his favorite man on earth -
tracy morgan.
so. . . two [plus] years later, i finally got around to it.
i painted primarily with acrylics, a little guache, and a little prismacolor pencil [white, black, and pink colors used] on heavy watercolor paper.
never in all my years have i seen someone open a gift with such enthusiasm/joy. i still think g cried a little.
i'm afraid i now have a lot to live up to when it comes to christmas gifts.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
hope you had an equally merry christmas friends!
p.s. i'm always up for a challenge and if you know of someone who might need a little portrait/picture of something special, just let me know. . . commissions are always welcomed!
