Allow me to introduce myself!
My name is Mark Branscum, I am a pencil artist, but this is my first painting.
I live in Macon, GA, well, actually Warner Robins GA. Anyway, I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this journey of learning portraiture.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this painting. The subject is Bob Branch's Father. Bob Branch has a Flower shop in Phoenix, AZ.
Many years ago I did a pencil of this very subject, which was my first commission work.
I knew then that I wanted to do portraits but it seems that life took me another direction.
Not sure if Bob Branch is even out there anymore but as much as they enjoyed the pencil I wonder what he would think of the painting.
At any rate, I thought it fitting to return to my first commission for my first oil.
Mark
