The BBM-painting my boyfriend made for me
« on: November 23, 2006, 07:55:15 am »
On my birthday my boyfriend surprised me with this painting of a scene in Brokeback Mountain. He had taken my dvd (that I noticed immediately...) and every day I was at work he would freeze-frame the movie and start painting. I think he is very talented, but I'm biased, he's my boyfriend! I just wanted to share this with you all. He even put the BetterMost cans of beans (with oxidation) in it and there is a tiny tent in the distance with a camp fire.

The great thing is, he says that this is an open painting. So if anybody thinks there should be something else in it, a symbol of Jack and Ennis or their time on the mountain apart from the tent and the cans of beans, then be sure to let me know.

The painting is very beautiful and I think your boyfriend does have talent. I'm no art expert but the painting seems well done. That's definitely a great birthday present! Thanks for sharing.

Water and clouds are HARD to paint.  (In my opinion they are impossible to paint, so your boyfriend is a friggin' genius.)  This is so lovely.  What are the dimensions, and where are you putting it?  Thanks Melissa's boyfriend!  :)
