Limited edition giclée print of The Golfer from The Jobs of Yesteryear Series.

There are many different accounts as to the origins of golf with cultures as various as the Romans, Persians, and Chinese all laying claim. But most agree that the modern rules of golf originated in Scotland with shepherds using their canes to hit rocks along as they followed their herds. The game was first mentioned when King James II outlawed golf because it was overtaking archery in popularity. James IV lifted the ban after becoming a golfer himself. Golf’s main evolution has involved the equipment used, with the golf club and the bags used to carry them being a shining example.

Each original painting is created on stained wood panel using acrylic paint. The limited color palette gives the work a historic feel. The long limbed characters are crafted using hundreds of hand-torn bits of kraft paper collaged on top of watercolor paper and painted with an acrylic wash. The painting includes details showing how the ice cutter job became obsolete.
