Hyperrealism the essence of Cullen

This is a watercolor pencil painting on canvas.   I take care of this young man two days a week.  He brings so much joy to my heart.I will give this painting to his mother for christmas.  I so enjoyed painting it.  As is normal for me to present this painting in a hyper realistic way.  It is indeed his essence.

Here is to you Chief Tommy!

This is a friend of mines little girl.  It took me a long time to paint because of all the detail in the piece,   Hyperrealism can be very tedious especially when there is a lot of detail.  I bartered this picture for a home cooked meal by the famous Tommy Fitzgerald.  Chief Tommy does the catering for the Legacy Trust Contest and I entered this year just to taste his cooking.  Well Art Prize was fun but I am looking forward to this meal more than the Art Prize process.  As is normal for me I continue to paint with water color pencils on canvas.
