I received a commission to paint a favorite family photo.

I work from photographs, and will paint any subject from a photo, so of course it doesn't have to have a cow in it, but I'm always pleased when it does!  This photo is an old black and white one of my client's mother as a teenager, showing her prize winning Black Angus steer at the Cow Palace.  How great is that?
being a black and white photo we decided a light color tint would keep the old fashioned look of the photo but give it a little something extra.

The girl in the painting's name is Janet, she is now a grandmother, and her grandchildren are carrying on the family tradition and also show cattle. 



I just delivered this painting, commissioned by Mary G., the daughter of Janet, the subject.  I am very pleased to have been trusted with painting this moment in time which will now be
a family heirloom, and will always mean something special as it is passed on.  Thank you Mary!
