MORE FAMILY HEIRLOOM OIL PAINTINGS ARE ON THE WAY SOON!

It's really important these days, with families moving across the country to be where the jobs are and relatives spreading across the entire map, not only keep your family history alive, but to pass it on to future generations so the stories will remain strong long after we're gone. Stories are awesome, but, stories with pictures are so much better and a picture is worth a thousand words, so what better way to pass on a piece of your history than to do it with a quality work of art?
Right now I'm working on 2 more heirloom paintings and will share the results with you as soon they're completed and the customer gives their ok.

LATEST FAMILY HEIRLOOM PAINTING


This is my latest commissioned "family history" portrait painting. This oil painting is of the customer herself,in the foreground, years ago. Behind her on the left is her deceased husband in uniform is saluting a half mast flag in honor of a family member who had passed on. On the right are her parents in their wedding dress standing in front of a 1947 Fleetwood, Chev. In the Center, behind this beautiful woman,is a glimpse of her old family home, the water collection tank they had way back then, a field of the cotton that they used to pick, and their old Farmall tractor. Now, I'm working on another commission of a family bringing a load of cotton into a one of Geronimo's old gins.
