The Archer (watercolor painting)
« on: August 13, 2014, 09:22:29 pm »
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I thought you might like to see a painting I did of one of my primitive archery friends.  It is a watercolor 22x 30.

Perhaps better in Campfire but that is not my business.
Your painting is uniquilly wonderful and the handsome dude looks just like me.

Dan, that is really good. I'm going to move it to the Campfire so more people can enjoy it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Would be proud to have such a wall hanging!

Thanks, everyone.  Yes, Pappy, that is Mr. Arthur Anglin.  He and Dorothy have been to Twin Oaks several times.  They are great folks.  They both shoot primitive bows and go to many shoots around the Southeast.

  Nice work Dan, very nice.
