Paradise 12" x 16" (Commisioned)


Jason and Sonya are friends of mine that happen to be co-workers as well. Sonya asked me if I would be interested in painting something for Jason's Birthday. Without hesitation I agreed. A great part of doing this painting is using this fantastic image that Sonya captured during their honeymoon trip while golfing in Hawaii. It's a beautiful scene, taken at the perfect point in his swing, while celebrating their love. It just doesn't get any better than that. Something that makes it more special for me is that I started golfing as a result of Jason's invitation to play in a scramble with Sonya and him. That scramble turned out to be the day I got to know Sonya, got to know Jason better, and started down the road to the poorhouse as a golf addict.
