8 x 10
acrylic on hardboard
I took this one from a family photo. The back of the photo had a few sentences
indicating that the picture was taken after church services. The couple had
just become a deacon and a deaconess. This is quite an honor for Southern
Baptists. I originally left a lot of white behind the two figures, which stayed
true to the original photograph, but it just wasn't working. My son walked through
and offered his opinion, which he never does because he could care less about
art, and painting, and creating. Girl stuff
is how he would describe what I do. He is a young man of simple words and he
did not let me down this time. He looked at the painting on his way to the kitchen
and said, "It needs more depth." He had never been so right, nailed
it! It needed more depth, so I added
more shadows in the background. We often
laugh about him getting a "B" in Art. He wears his "B" like a badge of
honor, because his mother is an art teacher and an artist. Lucky for him I believe in following your own
dreams and talents.
