Wow, it's been forever since I added to this blog. This painting was actually done almost a year ago. It was done for a family I met about 8 years ago. They are about the hardest working people I know. In fact this painting is kind of a result of that ambition. It shows the building that Mr. Bumpus purchased and had his Gulf station at. The family now owns 2 very successful Body shops in Clarksville, TN. This painting was a bit challenging since the location was sold many years ago and has fallen into disrepair. The only images of it were taken in its current state. Josh (the youngest son) and I discussed the colors, stripes and general design at length. This was commissioned for the Patriarch for his Christmas gift last year. I am always inspired by the work ethic of this family and feel truly grateful that they have had me produce several pieces over the years.
