"Ma and Pa", 6 x 8, oil on panel


So here's another painting I've done from an old photo I found in a thrift store. (see the reference photo below) I am trying after all these years to loosen up my painting style...back beyond how loose I was long ago. I am told by some very well respected artists that it is very difficult to do after having spent so much time doing pretty representational work. I am inclined to agree - fervently : ). But I am all about hitting my head against a brick wall. That is probably what I am best known for.
