Gentlemen of Jazz

Comments

Th is lovely vibrant colourful painting, love the colours particularly the overriding green and the clear outlines of the figures and equipment, unfortunately jazz kills me! But this is still a lovely painting.

Hi Fred, missed your last one, which was great, like this one as well, wish I was as good as you with figures, your compositions are so realistic of life.
