The Sky is crying by Derek Snowdon

Seeing on screen I will have to tweak the back of the boots.

You got it nicely Derek....I can hear the music..

Amazing painting Derek, this is one of your best for me, very impressive.

Not heard of SRV but a darn good painting Derek.

Thanks Jim, Cesare and Michael. He's a short lived blues/rock guitarist

Excellent Derek.... great pose.

A super painting Derek.

Really good Derek.

Beautifully done, Derek! I like the texture you have in the clothing and a great job with the foreshortening which is far from easy.

Great painting of this fine guitarist. The guitar is so well painted, lovely light on it, and his clothing spot on.. Fine atmospheric piece Derek..kudos.

Thanks Fiona, Margaret, Louise, Wib and Andre

Lovely work Derek, I've been known to bash out the odd old blues now and then, thankfully without the silly lifestyle, hope to last a lot longer lol.

Great painting of an amazing guy well done !!

Brilliant Derek, a lovely painting indeed

Cheers Stephen, Donna and David

A fine and very atmospheric painting Derek. The subject lends itself to your semi abstract style. Don't worry about the back of the boots, it just adds to the texture and freedom of the work. I'm now going to google SRV!

Thanks Les, I have modified the boots. If you like blues and guitar you'll enjoy.

Simply put....your best work to date for me...

This is a gem, Derek.

A favourite guitarist of mine and my favourite painting of yours Derek, absolutely brilliant!!

lovely effect, feel the left hand should be around the guitar kneck?

Great colours and composition!

Great painting Derek

Know this musician.

Brilliant Derek.

Cracking piece of art Derek. Well done.

Tony it is under shadow. If you start having a go at me I will respond as Stephenson does LOL! Watch out mate, especially on hs posts. Thanks for viewing anyway. Cheers Timothy, Cliff, Juris, Carole and John.

Fantastic Derek. Love the textures you achieve and the colours you have used.

Thanks Gudrun

Wonderful! Rave On! or is it Ray Vaughn!

Thanks Linda. That was Buddy Holly and you missed out Stevie

Feeling the blues, Derek. Textures are fantastic ! Admirable painting!

I like the composition and the loose approach! Great work!

Thank you Bob and Christof
