Acrylic and oils on paper.

This is fly!

It's as if Trane was hanging out in your living room and you said "Hey, hold that pose". It's cool blues are striking, but there is a certain depth to the piece that wasn't in the last Trane submission. He's alive in this piece, more so than in the other.

Very nice!! ;p

Fully seen, felt, and developed; a rich and rewarding, deep contemplation of a great musician; the relationship between his limb and his instrument is inspired, and the rendering style and tonal variations as enveloping as music... a major accomplishment.

wonderful skintones, i really like the blues/voilets...i don't think the sax would be difficult to fix, just some cleanup and contrast(reflective lights/darks) you can always search out an alternate reference for the sax if the one you have doesn't cut the mustard...and in this piece, it's worth fixing.

Thanks very much. :)

The pic I'm working from is good - I just got into a fix with having too much thick wet paint on the paper (as usual! haha) I will probably give it go in a few days.

You got those coltrane eyes down perfect, and I like the style of the sax. Favorite for sure.

Thanks very much - I hoped you would like it. Your opinion meant the most, because I know how deeply you are into the area.
