Blue Ray

Nice painting, Derek, great technique.

Another atmospheric painting Derek! Really great! Happy New Year!

The perspective is great, and the abstract qualities are really good. A really modern and contemporary look to this Derek. You've cracked the use of non brush work in your art. Keep it up, and a very happy new year to you.

Another cracking painting Derek your really jazzing it up .all the best for the new year

Great stuff. Happy New Year.

It&#39;s not new year yet, the Scots will have you for that.<br /><br />Anyway thanks everyone.

Love the ghost effect Derek. Apologies if I have missed any recent work.

Great Derek, in your exciting style.

Another great angle, wonderful textures &amp; colours. Fabulous art.<br /> I know Ray played alto too, but never saw him do so, unfortunately.

Incredible work - Let The Music Play On !

Superbly evocative work Derek

Nice work Derek,Happy New Year.

Thanks Fiona, Frank, Carole, James, Dermot and Tanusree.<br /><br />Ghost effect please explain yourself madam?<br /><br />Never saw him live but would have loved to.

Sir, I was referring loosely to; haunting melodies, undefined edges, spirits of memories long gone and images in and out of focus....but if I had writen that, you would have taken me as being, half drunk or half mad! lol You probably still do.....who cares, we have a whole new year of painting in front of us! Hope it&#39;s a good one for you.....

Thankyou Fiona LOL, just a sly query on my behalf being that way inclined at present.<br />Cheers and good wishes

great work such vigour and excitement its in your now great style , love it Derek very well done .

Thanks dennis

I&#39;ve really enjoyed looking through all your recent pics Derek. Great stuff . I like them all but particularly this one.

Cheers Pod really appreciate your comments

I like this painting, mixing music with art is always a great combination in my opinion!

Cheers Colin, nearly always have some music going on, classical, jazz, blues whatever
