Portrait of Reverend Claude Black
The Works of Edward Christobal Lopez, III
“The material used to create the paintings is a waterborne, low odor, high gloss, solid covering, acrylic Bulletin Enamel formulated for graphic arts and maintenance applications. It is lead free, fast drying, easy brushing, and more importantly environmentally friendly.
The gold elements in the background of the paintings are actually silhouette shapes that when put together make up the Central Academic or Madla buildings of your campus.
The portraits that I chose to create consist of newly created paintings depicting prominent San Antonio individuals who have had an impact on social, civic and educational awareness for the citizens of our city.” ---Edward Christobal Lopez, III
