    Thanks Ann for such lovely feedback! I loved painting him. I didn’t use spray with this one, more likely a Chinese brush on its side creating the texture on the rough paper

    I really love the feeling in this ptg.- I am a fan of Charlie’s - saw him with his big band at Lincoln Cntr. in th e70’s I love how you have captured a feeling of his mastery here- he had a huge ego! Maybe the choice of yellow for the face, and only the profile, no details in the face helps to convey this and the HAIR! Can you share how do you get thos beautiful raggedy edges and the spray above the hair is very emotive.
