Uncle Si's portrait

Well, this was a nice surprise.   A gal from my church took my portrait of "Uncle Si" to Phil Robertson last time she was there to visit.    I did the portrait as a demo for a portrait workshop about a year ago and since I'm a big fan of "Uncle Si" and his "Si-isms" I thought I'd send it to him - not as a crazed fan - but as a thank you to him for the laughter from the show and the witticisms from his book that I have enjoyed over the years.   Phil was kind enough to allow a picture of him holding the portrait with a promise to pass it on to Si.   What an exciting place for my painting to go.  

What's Next?

What's Next? Here's a hint - it's an oil painting I did of my two boys when they were small.

As an artist and former art teacher it's just in my blood to want to not only paint and create but to share how I paint and create. So here's what's next. I'm gonna show you some step by step processes in the techniques and styles I use to create my artwork. First up, will be a step by step example of how I create a portrait in oil. Now, if you are an artist it may not be your way to paint, and if you are not an artist it might or might not be kinda interesting to see a portrait come to life but anyway you look at it, it's still Jane's Perspective.
