Heartfelt-Figurative

Close ups

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to The Seated Figure Challenge at DPW posted by Dana Cooper .
She said, among other things, "Find the simple, large shapes first."

He may have played gigs on stage for big bucks. Now he sings on a corner with a tip box at his feet.
But, you can be sure, each song still comes straight from the heart.

    C'est une peinture vraiment belle... Elle a une âme, celle de ce musicien.
    Il y met tout son coeur tout comme vous mon cher Dean, vous y avez mis tout votre ressenti. A se demander, si ce musicien ne devient pas tout simplement vous!...
    Une très belle harmonie de couleurs...
    Gros bisous

    Martine said: "C' is a really beautiful painting… It has a heart, that of this musician. It puts all to its heart just like you at it my dear Dean, you put at it all your felt. To wonder, if this musician does not become quite simply you! … A very beautiful harmony of colors… Large kisses"

    Martine quote:"To wonder, if this musician does not become quite simply you!"

    Very perceptive of you, Martine! As a matter of fact, after this was painted, I DID feel it represented me, quite unintentionally! I was a musician...and I no longer play on a stage. But the difference is...I don't play on a corner for tips...
