My very good friend Debi Tonge got a comission piece from a guy named John who wanted a canvas painting of himself as a Spanish conqueror.  As odd as this sounds, it is actually very cool for someone to go out of their way to comission such amazing art these days. Debs asked me to help her photograph John at my studio, and somehow she actually managed to get an authentic outfit for him.  My job was very easy, Debs on the other hand had to spend over 50 hours on the actual painting. What I think is most amazing is the acuracy between what John looks like and how Debi painted him, here is the final painting and one of the photos I took.  Debi’s work can be found on creatingartmoods.com
