History of T-Bone in Paint

I come from a large family and we are closeknit. My 4 siblings and I live within a 15-20 mile radius so we've shared multiple experiences and attended numerous family gatherings. This has allowed for me to watch my 6 nephews and 1 niece grow from birth to present. I have taken the opportunity to paint them over the years and recently finished a graduation portrait of my nephew Tanner Jack.

As I was posting it in my Art Newsletter this month I realized I have probably painted Tanner more often than any other thus far. I thought it would be fun to see the metamorphasis of not only Tanner, but my painting style as well. As I was putting this together I found how awful some of my early photo quality was and there is also no photo record of a large painting I did of him when he was around 6 years old. I will have to rectify that!

So here it is... a history of T-Bone in paint! (My nickname for him)

T-Bone is the tow headed boy on the right with the red shovel.

My youngest nephew, Grayson is wearing a red sweatshirt on the left.

In this group painting that was done of all 6 grandsons as a gift

 to my Mother and Father, T-Bone is the boy on the lower right corner.  

The oldest boy is now 31 and the youngest 16.
