"Quaker Gap Portrait" oil, 60" by 40"
This painting depicts Morgan, a local girl from Quaker Gap, NC, where we live.
In doing a portrait, I try and set it up with elements that say something about
the model and their life. For four generations, Morgan's family have run a meat
packing store where the locals bring their cows, pigs, and deer to be cleaned,
dressed, and packed. There used to be many such stores, but this is the last one
remaining as most simply go to the grocery store these days.
