3rd Completed Commission: Family

Family
oil on canvas

24'' x 24"

Here is the third of four commissioned paintings headed to Chicago . The title or theme of this painting is, "family". I had come up with a number of ideas while contemplating this title, but it was Karen's suggestion of using shoes that finally made the cut. It was an inspired idea. The "fathers" shoe, in back, was issued to me at Lack land Air Force Base on November 17, 1972. They were part of my dress blues, and I still wear them today as my dress shoes.
