A Family Portrait

During the summer of 2010, I spent my time working on this portrait of the children and dog of good family friends. The oil painting was the largest I have done, measuring 48" x 72"!

This summer I've been spending quite a bit of time with my Dad on the golf course. While I've only improved my golf game by a small, imperceptible to all but my dad, amount, I've still gotten a lot out of being on the course. This is the latest in my series of golf course views.

This work is of hole #11; it looks short and easy but I think it's safe to say it is my arch nemesis.
I hope you are all enjoying the last days of summer! Check back in a few days to see the finished oil painting of the two black labs; it's almost finished!
