Unicycle Oil Painting

[yoopers]

My sister is an artist and is finishing up her bachelor's degree. Her
senior project is a painting of Ben and Brad from a photo we took for
the newspaper before heading off to UNICON in 2002. Thought I'd share
the work with you all.

The painting is hanging in an art gallery in Oklahoma City for the time
being, then she has promised the painting to us as a gift. What a great
honor! We're excited and can't wait for the painting to prominently
grace the walls of our home. She has a website of her work at
http://kerryjomontoya.com.

Per Kerry, the digital photo of the work doesn't do it justice. Can't
wait to see it in person. I've overlaid our original photo on the
picture of her painting.

Cool stuff. Being somewhat of a frustrated artist myself, I can
appreciate the time and effort it takes to get that good. I have none
of those things that will get me there.

Tell your sister congrats on going back to school and finishing up her
degree. That isn't easy to do as you get older. I know since I didn't
finish up my degree until 10 years after high-school.

And lastly, if she ever needs a professional model to pose for another
Uni painting that she can add to her online portfolio, I can make some
time. Of course I wouldn't charge, but if she wanted she could give me
the painting for my private collection of budding artists. It would be
graciously accepted.:)

Cool! That's a nice piece of work, and an unusual subject for a
painting. Any chance your sister could be talked into making a
rendition in oil of the (in)famous "Harper picture"? That would look
great, painted life-size, hanging behind the bar in a unicyclist's
saloon.

That bit of the picture caught my eye, but not for that reason... the
crank almost looks like it's coming out of the painting, the lighting is
so good. That's very impressive indeed!

Excellent stuff.

I remember it actually took some doing to find a pair of white
suspenders the right size. We finally found some at a formal wear store
at the mall.
