My father, of course. I derived this from an actual incident in which my Dad was injured felling a tree by himself in the woods on our farm. The tree twisted wrong in its decent and fell on him, leaving him with 11 stitches on the back of his leg.
In this painting, I had him pose in and around the "statues" he was making in the backyard. These statues where made from the trunks of dead trees and handcrafted solely by his chainsaw. They were crudely crafted, but still exhibited character (not too unlike my father himself).
The painting stands around 5 ft. tall by 3 ft. wide and in the top corner, I constructed a small box containing one of my fathers' used chainsaw chains and an oil can.
***DUE TO THE SIZE OF SOME OF THESE, YOU COULD THINK ABOUT PURCHASING THEM AS INVESTMENTS, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE ROOM TO HANG THEM....WRAP THEM IN A PLASTIC SHEET, PUT THEM IN A DRY PLACE AND THEY WILL KEEP FOR DECADES*****
