A tribute to José Costa

4.15.10 Fine Art

2010 – acrylic on canvas

My wife’s father passed away in January of this year. I wanted to pay a tribute to him for her. When she first saw what I was doing she started to cry. I think that’s the best reaction that I could ask for, because I know that it really meant something to her.

This painting was done totally freehand, I just started painting on a blank canvas because I wanted to capture the emotion that I was feeling at that moment. It’s not exact but I think it captures his essence, a proud man.
