Listening to Nature Boy, when viewing your masterpiece. Love the fluid forms of his hands....
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it.
Although your thoughts concerning Nat's voice are spot on, I'm enjoying the fluid movement of your composition. His fettuccine body and expressive hands lead the viewer 'round and 'round again to his face, and the cigarette smoke, though subtle, is a delightful detail that directs the viewer back again for an encore. It's terrific, through and through! (Your fans beg for more.)
ReplyDeleteDitto what Mardi said! :)
ReplyDeleteWow totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery smooth. I can almost taste the menthol. It is a wonderful composition. Very fluid and clean. i really like the planes on his cheek and temple and the suggestion of glowing skin
ReplyDeleteDitto,another beauty.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my Grandmother telling me menthol cigarettes were good for you..I like how you show his body and hands as a sacrificial emblem to support his voice...well that's how I saw it anyway!! Great as usual!
ReplyDeletewow! I love it ♥
ReplyDeleteYeah yeah, super great as always. That subtle curl of smoke and his devilish grin just kill me. I really dig those blocks of color that make up his face too. So when's your book coming out?
ReplyDeletehmmm... yes, a book has been in the "that-would-be-a-good-idea" stage for some time now...
Deletehopefully it can land soon.
.
i didn't know that he smoked up some packs of cigarettes cause he believed it gave his voice the characteristics it has.
ReplyDeletereally wonderful Richard. love it, love it, love it :)
