"Granny's Closet", Shep at his Most Fun!

And at his "Time Travel" best.  The photo was taken in the 80's, the closet is today.  The clothes are from the40's,  50's, and 60's.  Daughters Meredith and Ashley dressed up little sister Becky in Mom's 60's "Formal" red dress.  The lady in the picture on the wall is Rebecca's great grandmother and doppelganger.  The dress in Granny's Closet is one Shep's grandmother made herself shortly before he was born.

It turned out well enough to receive a 3rd in the Conroe Art League's Spring Show.  14' x 24" $525.00

About Me

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
