Bluesman - portrait of a harmonica musician

I have a very musical family.  When we get together there is usually a lot of singing and playing of instruments.  At our last family reunion my brother, Richard, showed off his newly learned harmonica skills while my other brother, Dan, snapped some photos. I love the darkness in this piece that leads to the glow around Richard's white beard.  

The photo was used with permission from Dan, who is a professional photographer.

The source for this painting was taken when I was in England at a friend's wedding.  The event was marvelous...I really got a small taste of non-touristy British life...right down to the fish and chips at the rehearsal dinner!  The wedding was fabulous and the reception so much fun.  This musician was part of a 4 person ensemble including a sousaphone, banjo and clarinet.  The musicians personalities were priceless ranging from "over the top" to "worn out."  I plan on painting the whole band in the future...it is on my short list!!
