Five feet tall. Just getting this amount of sketching and starting the filling-in process has taken some time. #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

Starting the first 5-foot-tall canvas. This panoramic will have four 4-foot-wide canvases together. So it's going to take awhile. #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

We showed you this painting earlier. I went and had a t-shirt made just to bug our son. Haha. He just rolls his eyes. But it's a good shirt! #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

Sara seeing the portrait of Mollie! That was a fun project. And it's fun to see it on the wall every time we go to Zocalo. #ZocaloCoffeehouse #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #PetArt #DogArt

Our portrait of Mollie next to our portrait of Sara, owner of Zocalo Coffeehouse in San Leandro. I think they look good together! #ZocaloCoffeehouse #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting #PetArt #DogArt

Mollie was the mascot for Zocalo Coffeehouse in San Leandro. She passed away in 2020 and the workers asked us if we'd do a portrait of her for Sara, Zocalo's owner. So we kind of had to. #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

The finished portrait. It's about 6 feet wide. We like this style. And we like the effect that the layers of paint produce. It just takes a long time and a lot of paint when the painting is this big. #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

Working on the suits. Trying to get the blues dark enough that the folds disappear in dim light and reappear in bright light. Also - we love the hands. Expressive and vague. #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

The figure on the right is finally looking less like "Teen Wolf." Not a great photo, but the painting is coming together.
