Tilley Graduation

The son of one of my good friends commissioned me to paint this scene about his dad. He had graduated from the U in 1975 in Mining Engineering. He recently graduated from USC with his professional MBA. Since he loves football, his kids thought it would be fun to combine his two school experiences along with their football stadiums and their dad dressed according to his respective degree. They also like the fact that the score reflected his graduation years, and that the Utes were creaming USC! By far and away the most unique commission I have ever had!
