GRAHAGM KEENE

This portrait was 18" x 24" oil on canvas.  Graham Keene was the brother of Emily, our sweet neighbor who lived across the street from us when we lived on Oak Street in North Bend, Oregon.  They were old family southerners from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  She really knew how to make old fashioned mint juleps with real crushed mint leaves.  Graham worked as an illustrator/animator for Disney for 35 years and gave me great advice about using color.  Both have passed away but we have fond memories of our friendship.
