Brandon thank you for sharing. Actually I did just start in January after I turned 40 in November. Something I always wanted to do and just decided it was time. I did take art in high school, but even my high school art teacher was pleasantly surprised at the results. No classes, just watched stuff online and decided to just start painting.
The first golf course painting I did was for my father of Pebble Beach. My two brothers and my dad enjoyed a wonderful round there and my Dad shot 76 that day, what a memorable trip. Started out just to paint courses I had photographed and Brandon's is the first one I have painted from someone else's photo. It is 16x24 oil on canvas and I hated to send it off truthfully as he took a very cool photo and I could easily have kept that one for myself.
Here is my first one for my father of Pebble Beach's 6th.
Sent this one of Pacific Dunes to a fellow golfer who was kind enough to include me in a round at an unbelievable course.
One of my favorite paintings so far is of the 2nd at Ballybunion Old
I enjoy painting and just need to find more time to do it! Between work, kids and actually trying to golf, never enough time in the day.
