Project Description

This painting of a mother and son, at the family’s Aurelia Ranch in Mexico, is a commission from the grandchildren. Their wish was to surprise their dad with a portrait of him with his beloved mother. I often reference several photos to create a portrait. In this project, my goal was to show both a mother and son’s tender relationship and also the ranch’s beautiful gate. So I extended the rock walls and offset the gate—a bit of artistic license!
