Joe & Friends
oil on gessoed paper
Here is my contribution to Edward Burton's sketchbook for The Flying Moleskins. His theme is music so I choose a favorite local jazz musician, Joe McQueen, who just celebrated his 91st birthday and is still performing. I would have like to have spent more time on this, but it's deadline time!

Great painting, Michelle!
Such a sophisticated and somehow simple elegance to this piece, Michelle. It is lovely!
Really nice, Michelle.
I love this. It captures the mood so perfectly. It looks like a 1940's painting, to match the style of music. You did a great job with it!
It's a wonderful painting. Love the quiet spaces and the rhythm of the musicians and instruments. Joe must be quite a person!
wonderful Michelle
i love how you managed to get the piano looking so shiny! great job!
Very nicely done. Lots to consider and you did it beautifully.
Very nice work
What a fun piece! I can almost hear the music!
This is a very unique piece. Not pretentious, just very real and believable. I enjoyed looking at your work.
