In 1994 I spent a few days with Jimmy Dean taking photographs in formal and informal settings at his home in Virginia. I created this work from my favorite candid shot I took at breakfast. Since the painting is currently in the possession of his wife, Donna, who acquired it as a Christmas gift for Jimmy in 2007, I’ve decided to recreate the work as a demonstration for my students. So, stay tuned for photos and maybe even some videos.
