To read some latest news on my work going
into
the Booth Western Art Museum, take the live

this post:
IT'S
FINALLY OFFICIAL
This portrait is Gordon Bond of Land Of Lakes,
Florida. "Shiloh Jasper Green," as he refers to
himself, is a member of S.A.S.S a/k/a the
"Single
Action Shooting Society, a national
organization of
quickdraw artists and shooting competitors.
This
portrait was done as part of a series of works
that I
am currently working on for my upcoming
show at
the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville,
Georgia this coming September. I met Gordon
through an acquaintance at my printer's shop
in
Tampa, called him on the phone to inquire if he
would be interested in posing for my
photographer,
my wife Leigh, to obtain photographic
reference for
a painting and was subsequently invited to an
upcoming quickdraw competition in Florida
near
where we live. Mr. Bond was more than happy
to
pose as were many of his friends at the
competition.
This piece is a traditional oil, on a "Claybord,"
Gesso-covered Masonite.
The overall size is 16" x 20".
