The guy sitting over there on the right. His foot kept bobbing up and down, like it just kept it’s own rhythm with music that filled the room. It was just an ol’ dark shoe with a pointed toe, not new.
About that foot, that shoe. It was more than a dark ol’ shoe. It was full of color and sound, soul. It didn’t care who was watching.
Been thinking about the red hat that came out on stage. I don’t care if you all are in suits and ties and no suits and no ties
without color
I’m red
I’m big and brassy. I shine. My sound comes from deep within.
Three acrylic paintings size from top on down 14″ x 11″, 18″ x 16″, 14″ x 11″
These paintings were painted January 2013 after hearing McCoy Tyner, Bobby Hutcherson, Joshua Redman and Regina Carter perform with The SFJazz Collective perform at the new San Francisco Jazz Center.

I’m glad you provided the explanations right away. Else, I’d be staring at them again without conclusion or nothing to come up with. It’s amazing how you, artists, just have your imagination and ways to express just soaring high, are always ambiguous, and just incredible.

Thank you. I am really glad I found your work. I saw an incredible show of Rembrandt drawings – went right out and sketched a tree being influenced by him. Wow could he draw!
