The Pianist 02
(Pastel and digital Art)
In my last 2 posts I presented my first artworks featuring Joe Bonamassa and his pianist at their live concert in the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2009. As I said, I have been fascinated by the show, as well acoustically as visually, and I feel the need to paint a whole series of the musicians acting in that show that day.
Of course they were all great, the master himself Joe is just divine. Divine guitar play, divine attitude and body movements. But as an artist I was especially attracted by the pianist. Something mysterious is about him, and I love mystery. It was in his face, his attitude, his clothes, the light around him and last but not least in the Little Buddha which eas sitting on his piano all the time. This was just beautiful!
For the second part of the show the pianist changed his clothes and appeared with an amazing red hat on his head. I could not resist to paint a little red hat on Little Buddha too.. I hope I get forgiven! It just looks too cute, and especially attractive on the painting, that tiny red point remembering the big red point on the pianist’s head…
This painting is available as poster and Giclee print, in different sizes and different formats, in my FAA Gallery:
