Kevin's Painting Blog

Although I started this during the summer, I just finished this painting on Christmas day. Not that it took me one half of a year’s worth of work, I think I may have put about 8 or 10 hours into it total. It consisted of three, one to two hour sittings with the model, plus about 3-5 or so hours in the studio.  My model here is a Japanese friend who has his own baseball training business.  The “R” on the shirt and cap stands for major league baseball  hitter “Reggie Smith”, who my friend trained with in the USA and whose training system he uses.
