My First Commission
I've finished my first "commissioned" oil painting, a scene of a pirate ship running in the Mediterranean with Gibraltar off in the background. It's for my friend Evan McCallum at work. It is a copy based on a picture he found online somewhere. Enclosed below is the original source picture.
I wasn't sure I was going to like this painting, but as it gelled I grew to like it more and more and now I'm very happy with it. I think the waves in the original are still a lot better than mine, but mine aren't too bad. I'm glad I have no room left in our house or I would have a hard time giving it away!
