Portrait of Candy Crysup by Young Artist
Robert Holcomb, an aspiring portraitist and 1966 Rusk High School graduate, completed a 30 by 40 inch oil portrait of Candy Crysup daughter of Don and Mrs. Crysup. The piece took nearly a year part time, features a blue gown and red rose, and was shown two weeks at First State Bank. Holcomb, a 1970 Sam Houston State University art graduate, works in drafting for a steel company in Grapeland and lives in Crockett. He hopes to paint portraits full time once established.
