I have done several of these 'Picker' paintings, a couple in pastel, and a couple in acrylics, but I just loved the stance of the men in my photos and the grape leaves.
I pretty well made up the background on this, and the red jeans and the warm colors, in actual fact they were all in blue hues in my photos. Once again I tweaked all the colors in Photoshop, it helps me see the wild alternatives.
It was fun to do, but I am still not overly thrilled with this painting.. Maybe another attempt is on the horizon.
