Description
A student of mine kept asking if I would paint a portrait of her grandfather and I tried to put her off. She told me stories of him and said he was a Old Salt who fished the ocean with his dog on his shoulder. I am asked to paint portraits a lot but choose to pick the characters myself. I was finally intrigued so asked her to bring me pictures of him. Every picture had the dog on his shoulder and I could tell that he was full of character. So I choose to paint him that way looking out at the sea. Here is OLD SALT AND HIS DOG .
