Turning a black and white photo into colorful, meaningful art.

18x24 Acrylic on canvas.

I was hired to recreate this photo through my style of art.  This will be a very special Christmas present from a son to his mother. It was the farm in which he grew up on and this is what he shared with me.  "This is the picture. It represents my life, my roots and upbringing.  The deep character within a person. A time when I was learning but yet not know or understanding.. doing chores, having simple innocent fun,  instilling a work ethic, that would last a life time.  The Ken that exists today is different from the Ken that played in that barn.   Just a thought you should know as you paint the significance this photo represents."
