Howard Masto, Sr. | 16 x 20, mixed media

Another 'Celebration Art' I created this summer for a special friend that wanted to give it to her husband for his birthday. I was provided with 7 memorial tournament golf shirts celebrating the life of his uncle, Howard Masto, Sr. The color palette was tricky, and the client wanted a golf theme. I decided to feature all the patches of the shirts and create a geometric background to make them pop, trying to maintain a masculine vibe with all the pink fabric. The golfer graphic is metallic and black Sharpie on watercolor paper, elevated to add some depth.

The first house portrait I painted was a request from the owner of this lovely camp. She recently sold it and asked me if I could do a smaller painting for her. This one is on 9 x 12, and although I struggled with the teeny tiny details, I enjoyed the challenge of adding all those lines. Thank you, Nichole, for pushing me into a project that has ultimately turned into a significant part of my business.
