A painting 19 years in the making & The start of a new mural


I was cleaning the studio today when I found this little underpainting (8" x 11")
I began this oil painting of my father and myself 19 years ago & although I never finished it, I had it framed hoping that one day it would miraculously be finished.
For anyone who is a painter you'll know what its like to have a block and leave a painting for quite sometime only to return to it one day and find that it was finished the whole time but you weren't able to see it then.
The frame needs a little update..maybe some Annie Sloan
This polaroid was taken 41 years ago

me & my dad. He passed away 10 years ago but I remember this moment like it was yesterday.

Canvas going up and a new mural starting soon
