Taking a moment here to show the nearly completed National Golf Links of America painting.
I'm pleased with its progression and really think the perspective is iconic. It will be neat for the general public and golf loving masses to get a real appreciation for this place when it hosts the Walker Cup in 2013. We will get to see the course on TV!!!
It is considered by many, architect C.B. Macdonald's crowning achievement. Starting his involvment at the site in 1906, he was determined to build the most noteworthy course outside of the British Isles.
In the painting I aimed to capture the raw and linksy approach that they take to everyday maintenance. Playability and firmness outweighs "bright green". Based on its "fast and firm" conditioning and its exciting design which replicates or improves upon features from the best courses overseas, it is considered by many well versed golfers "the most fun golf course in America".
