For
example, pictured at left, is a photo of an elderly
gentleman, Mr.Pacheco, a dearly loved father and grandfather,
who had recently passed away. The wife of the
mans son, contacted me in May of that year, to see if
I could create a painting of her father-in-law, in time
to present it to her husband as a Christmas present.
She wanted to portray Mr.Pacheco just as in the photo,
on his favorite horse. Although the horses head
was missing from the photo, she had other pictures of
the horses face, so with the combined reference material,
I was able to create the image that she wanted of her
father-in law. Below are two photos of the painting,
on the left, in the beginning stages, and on the right,
the completed painting |
