14" x 11" Oil on Canvas
This is a painting of grandson Jed. At some young age, he bought himself a new hat and proudly wore it for all to admire even posing on the sunny porch for a few photos. Years later when I ran across the picture, it was time to paint Jed in his handsome hat (which he no doubt has long forgotten). I never felt the painting was finished. It seemed to lack a spark. A few months ago it returned to the easel for some careful study and a few more strokes mostly in the shirt, a signature, and varnish which seemed to be just the touches it needed!
With great pleasure may I tell you last week it was awarded First Place in the Cape Coral Art League’s People and/or Places juried gallery show! Thank you Judge Jeanette Chupack!
The show may be seen at 516 Cultural Park Boulevard, Cape Coral, Florida - Mondays thru - Thursdays from 11:00 until 4:00 through March 31.
Wonder whatever happened to that hat? Grandson is still awesome at age 23.
