Historic Painting - Dade City, FL
This painting was a commission from a 100 year old photograph. The original photo was a sepia tinted image and I was asked to recreate the image and to use color. I liked the ornate trim around top of the wrap around porches. I understand this house still exists in Dade City, FL. The little boy on the horse is the Great Uncle of the man who asked me to recreate the photo into a painting. I enjoy creating paintings of historic subjects. As I created the painting I wondered what it would be like to live in a time that was less congested and simpler.
