Painting of a German Shepherd
On a motor home wheel cover.
One time, Michael was commissioned to do a portrait of a German Shepherd on a motor home wheel cover. He usually uses ultramarine blue and burnt umber to create black and when he ran out of ultramarine blue he used another blue with a different hue. When it was finished he showed it to a friend and to their amazement asked, why did you paint it green? Oops! Michael went to the art supply store and bought a tube of black paint and redid it. It turned out perfectly, the customer picked it up and thought it was the greatest painting they ever saw. It was never mentioned that it was green.
