"Two Blue Boys"
Two Blue Boys Just completed, Two Blue Boys is a pastiche of a famous painting housed in the Huntington Library. The boy on the right is Thomas Gainsborough's Blue Boy painted c1770 with a boy in 17th century costume. The boy on the left is me, at 16, with my first car, a 1940 Plymouth coupe. Here's the reference photo... The jacket in the photo was an olive drab Eisenhower or Ike jacket popular in the post WWII era, but I have converted it in the painting to blue denim.
