Grandpa Elmer

[BettyBoop22]

This is a commision I just finished for my niece, her husbands grandfather was a Montana Rancher who passed away last year.
I did this in oil with the wipe out technique, it is my favorite.

You have done an excellent job with the portrait Betty. I like the down coat, the background, all of it. :thumbsup:

Thanks Snoball
I loved doing this portrait, his great weathered face, he was the real deal.
My Niece is happy with it too.

Lovely, Betty... It has the feel of an old photograph...

You did an excellent job on this, Betty. The wipe out technique can give some wonderful shading.

Thanks Diane & Charissa,
I've done this method of painting before on another old cowboy, it gives them a great old western atmosphere.
