After spending a lot of time working on my website this week, improving its usability and streamlining its look, and also working on a little marketing, it was really time to focus on more painting. Last night, I couldn't stop thinking about football season starting up again and looking forward to the Saints' first regular season game just 2 weeks away. What else would I paint? So I started sketching, and painting, and painting, and painting. Below you will see the almost finished product and the stages of completion as it progressed. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you've probably already seen these.
The only thing left is to decide which jersey numbers to put on the players in the painting. I didn't use any specific picture for this, just sort of made it up from old football pics I had taken and memory of watching games and being in the dome, so I don't have an actual point of reference. Besides, the players have changed this year, so I want it to reflect who's on the team right now.
Once it's finished, I think I'm going to auction off this painting to the highest bidder by kickoff at our first game September 13th. Happy Bidding!
