I was contacted by Mukul via Flickr and he asked to use one of my photos. I really appreciate his writing me. While my photos are uploaded at full resolution, I have most licenses marked as “all rights reserved” or “noncommercial / no-derivative” which would keep someone of making a painting like this.
There have been some cool works before where strangers would draw me like this one and this one. There was also a sketcher that did a drawing of a photo I took in Belgium that came out really great!
The finished oil painting from this talented photography & artist takes the cake. It’s gorgeous, stunning and so well-done. I don’t know if this will make its way to Shaun Hill but it would make a great addition at the farmstead next to Elizabeth’s cross-stitch of their logo.
Here’s the original photo that I took in early 2012:
Here is the version Mukul did and posted to his Flickr account:
The artist has a ton of other really impressive photos on his Flickr stream. I didn’t see many beer related ones but he’s quite the talented guy. If he’s not okay with me hot-linking to the original, I can take it down and replace it with just URL. But seeing these photos side-by-side is certainly impressive. He even captured the bubbles in the growler!
Thanks Adam. I appreciate the kind words. Glad you liked it. One small correction though. it’s acrylic and not oil. Pretty similar, but yet different.
Thanks again.
Not to mention that cross stitch someone did of your photo.
Bro you are awesome… This is super cool… It seems as I can just pick the glass and say Cheers!!!
