Default Re: My first portrait of Gordon Lightfoot

Gee that is a great painting, you are really tallented. No need to expand on your talents so lets just move into the reality of it all. You should approach the Maritime Museum on Whitefish Bay Mich or the SS Valley Camp Great Lakes Freighter museum in the Soo (which has two of the Fitzs Lifeboats on display) or some other museum..maybe even Massey hall or Gords office...Early Morn Productions.
Keep at it. Most famous painters gave away 90% of their work before they were know.
Go for it.

I also have a blog that I wrote upon it's completion...just mainly talking about why I painted it and stuff.
I'll try and post the image here, or you can visit my website to see the portrait.

So far I haven't got any plans to sell the original, but I have plans to make prints. I'd really love Gord to see it one day, that would be such an honor for me.

Cheers, Vanessa
