Meghan's Mexico 40"x30" (Commissioned)


I was getting ready to start another painting. Trent and I were going out on another bike ride. He asked me if I would be interested in painting another painting for him. He said that he was considering the image that was to eventually be "Meghan's Mexico". I told him I would love to. I told him that I had wanted to paint "Meghan's Mexico" but I didn't want him to think that I was just making paintings to sell to him. We discussed the size 40" x 30". That was a big painting for me, but I loved that photo, the juxtaposition of the modern car being held up by a mule train, the way the buildings curved, the colors. When it was all about done, I called him and asked about adding something personalized to the license plate. We agreed on her name. As it turns out, when I finished it she was out of town. I brought it to their house and he was able to surprise her when she got home. Again, such a spectacular home displaying one of my paintings.
