This is an opaque watercolor I did of my son, Crisco, at the age of two (he's now 25). His half-brother and sister had had portraits made at about the same age by an old gentleman in Florence, Alabama. He did them the old-fashion way; much like old senior portraits were done at that time. A black-and-white printed on a canvas board, then tinted with oils made to resemble an oil painting. I couldn't afford the price at the time, so I painted one myself from some pics we had made from a photographer in Decatur. Crisco's mother has the original 18" x 24" framed in her home.
