About a year ago I created these reference images of Joe Leone in his bakery in order to create an oil painting.  Below are some of the original reference images along with the painting and a video of The final art piece being installed in his Point Pleasant location.  I usually create paintings from family beach portraits I create from portrait sessions here along the Jersey Shore in towns like Manasquan, Bay Head, Spring Lake and Long Beach Island to name a few.  This Oil Painting was unique and a pleasure to create, Joe was a delight to work with and lunch afterwards was of course amazing.
