Portrait of Landon

A few years ago I painted Landon's sister Kaila and their mother Teena, so now it was Landon's turn. He loves anything sport, but especially loves being a baseball catcher.

Some time ago I had taken a few pics of him in the backyard and decided to paint him as if in a Major Leage stadium.

I did not like his helmet and found a more appropriate pic on the web. I also found a nice pic of a big stadium and used that in my painting.


First stage. I gave Landon a new shiny helmet and started the background for a Major League stadium.


Final touches. I made the mitt really large, as if he almost puts it into the viewer's face.


Finished. Ready to be framed
