Log Cabin Swamp bayou House (Painting)

Last year I finished the Painting "Cabin in the woods" which was given to my Dad as a holiday gift. I used acrylic paint on 16 x 20 canvas.
The angles of the cabin are weird but I didn't have a reference, I was kind of eye-balling-it.

You can see in the last two photos that the painting came in phases, as I worked on it a little bit at a time for months. I changed many details of the painting as I went, but stuck true to the focal points. The first picture is the finished product. The picture quality is horrible as I used the flash. But I will take another photo later for better quality.

Acrylic painting of my Grandfather

From a picture of my Grandfather in the '70s, I drew the painting you see below. Here he is in his 30s or 40s. He has his tongue stuck out and stomach exposed, as he usually does (even to this day).

The painting was done several years ago, presumably 2007 or 2008. I highly doubt it, but I may have even painted it in 2009. I used Acrylic paint, and the size is 10x12 inches. 

As of now, this artwork is one of my few completely paintings. I hope that changes in the next couple months and in the upcoming years...
