R&B Band

'Keep music live!' You can't beat listening to a good band and your painting crackles with the same vitality and excitement that R@B creates for the music fan - great painting Derek.

If this is what can be done with old credit cards, it makes you want to throw your brushes away, Great atmosphere!

Full of excitement and atmosphere Derek.

Sounds like a good night Derek! Like it!

This is a great result Derek - the cool light falling on the duo creates just the right atmosphere. Excellellent composition too.

You've done a brilliant job Derek, love how you've captured the pose of the singer. Your expertise with the credit cards is impressive!

Many thanks to Russell, Tony, Sarah, Carole, Marjorie and Christine. This was a real labour but a pleasant one.<br /><br />Tony I am aiming to get my brushes going again, subject to shaky and unfeeling digits.<br /><br />Marjorie, I just got before the stage to get that angle and didn&#39;t really think about composition. Crap picture taker.<br /><br />Yeah about 350 ticketed people in a great venue. We&#39;ve seen a few good bands there.

Absolute cracker Derek, talk about teaching an old dog new tricks...you&#39;ve cracked this credit card style,this oozes style and atmosphere,great job.

Cheers Andre, I am rather chuffed with it.

You have got a great technique here now Derek I like this and all your other works in this style.

Thanks dennis

Love it as usual, Derek. I&#39;m being picky, but the neck on the alto, by the pink arm, is as long as a whole soprano sax.<br />The painting as a whole is superb, as usual.

Thanks Frank and you&#39;re dead right but I will leave it for now, maybe won&#39;t alter it, had enough of it, at least for mow. It will take another eagle eyed musician to spot it.

This is a great impression and interpretation of the evening Derek! Love your use of the credit card!<br />

Sublime Derek

Thanks Satu and dennis

Excellent work, Derek. I really like the smoky feel of the piece. It&#39;s full of life and dynamism.

Thanks Seok They had a smoke machine and the action was tremendous

Worth the struggle!

Cheers Gudrun
