Out of respect we were not allowed to paint exact names from headstones. But this particular grave belonged to a World War II veteran. One would think of this paintout to be creepy, but it was actually quite the opposite.
As with all on location paintings, lighting can play tricks on your eyes. I struggled with this one a bit, but kept reworking it throughout the afternoon.Thanks!

Thanks Yoon see, it was such a nice day painting out in Bodega. Thanks for checking out my sketch cards too, that Iron Man one was definitely one of my favorites to create....It's found a happy home in North Carolina :)
Hey Gerald! Nice work! Where are you headed next? I look forward to seeing more!!!
nice work.
but seriously..."out of respect for the dead"?
or even "out of respect for the
family of the deceased"
give me a break;
Very nice, the lighting here is beautiful. Did you also do this piece in watercolor/gouache? I really can't tell, it almost looks like acrylic or oils. Great work!
Cynthia - Thanks for checking out my blog adventures :)
Brian - Thanks buddy!
Justin - Yes, it's all a mixture of watercolors and gouache. I haven't touched acrylics in 2 years and never touched oils...yet! Hahahaha.
