rowdy's kids

This is a commission piece for my son's college room mate. He is surprising his mom, Rowdy, with it. I love her name. It seems like several of my last posts I have said that I do not usually do this kind of painting but here I go again. I feel more pressure when doing commissions but I feel like it is helping me grow. Forced out of my comfort zone.
I think Rowdy is going to be very happy Christmas day. This is big...2' x 3' on canvas.sold
