Description
Saxophone, Blues, New Orleans - things that go together. This work is from a feeling, a fleeting image, a half forgotten song. I started the painting before Hurricane Katrina waters flooded New Orleans. The shutters and most of the image were mostly complete. It was on a wooden pallet that floated, in my studio in the Holy Cross area of New Orleans' lower ninth ward. This was one of a few paintings that were safe, and I set it aside. Every once in a while, I would glance at it, put it away, and remember the music.
Seven years later, I decided to finish it. I reworked the color of the shirt and some highlights, and now like the way it feels.
