Love the painting and the rich colorful blues, reds, greens, & yellows! A nice addition to our cowboy/southwest decor vibe.

Beautifully expressed rendition of the Shrine of the Bab. The frame and matting showcase the print. We have it prominently on our living room wall with other sacred pictures.

I think the frame and mat work very well with this, it is really impressive in person. Grouped with a small Grant Wood with high quality lighting it sets the mood for a Georgia farmhouse.

Artist's Description
At the request of the company, my assignment was to illustrate the historical story of how Mayor McBride of Brantford met H.F. Johnson Founder of Johnson's Wax on the train as he was passing through Brantford, Ontario and convinced him to open a Canadian Operation in Brantford in 1920.
After researching archived photos of each man, black-and-white photos of trains of that era and taking photos of the Brantford train station that still exists today, I composed this painting to commemorate the landmark moment. It was a challenge to include all the required elements, make the men look as though they were engaged in a natural conversation, create a believable perspective and unify the piece with exterior natural light and interior artificial light sources to make the painted illustration look authentic.
Thank you to all who voted for my painting in this contest:

My vibrant watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings cannot be labelled in only one category. My paintings reflect my life: enriched with excitement as well as quiet times. My fascination with capturing a flash of movement in a motionless art form is evident in my sports paintings and energetic portraits. Moments of tenderness are reflected in my still life art, gardens and landscapes. Humor and silliness reflect in my fantasy illustrations. Many aspects of my life are mirrored in my...
