Painting of Chet

Postby Hendrik » Mon Oct 08, 2012 4:42 pm

My girlfriend is a painter and she always promised me to make a painting of Chet. Well today she finished the painting (it only took a few days), and I'm very, very proud of it. I would like to share it with you guys; it's of course Chet related :).

Hi Hendrik,

That is really nice work on your girlfriend's part! It's impressive to paint with such broad and coarse strokes and yet still be able to maintain
the essence of Chet.

Thanks for all the kind words. In real life it's much prettier. She insisted to make one of Jerry too. She wants to make a sort of tribute to my heroes. I won't say no to that...

Haha, after Jerry, you are next Rande. I've already found a historic quote that will match the painting.
