Audie Murphy's Carbine Number

[audiesdad]

[QUOTE=Andouille;38269]Audie Murphy's portrait hangs in the Senate chamber of the Capitol Building in Austin. I believe the only one of his generation so honored. Well maybe that bun of a sitch LBJ is hanging there too but I refuse to consider them equals.

Here is the painting of Audie from the Texas State House. I think it is OK but not the best.



I have been a Murphy collector over 20 years and have a large collectionof Murphy memorabilia.
Here is a painting of Audie that I had commissioned last year. It is 24 x 36, oil on canvas.



Here is the image of the Black and White photo of Audie that the artist used to paint it from.



She used images from Google images to take the B&W to color.
I think in my opinion, and naturally, I am biased, but it is the best Murphy painting I have ever seen. I think it is "picture perfect."
Comments? Would love to hear them!
