Black Country Communion: YOU ROCK!
BCC, TOU ROCK! - By Miki
Glenn Hughes and Joe Bonamassa in teh superroup Black Country Communiuon.
This new artwork is to celebrate the end of BCC (Black Country Communion) so successful USA Tour End 2011. We are waiting now for them to come to Europe, where their first gig will be in Spain. We wanted to attend it, unfortunately Kevin has self a gig that day.. but it does not matter, we will do what it takes to see them live, and fly on the 12th of July to the Czech republic to attend their show in Locket on the 17th. I hope to come back with some sketches, also it is more probable that I will be so excited and hypnotised that I won’t do anything other than widely opening my ears and eyes!
The “You Rock” in this picture points to… I am sure that Glenn is always playing for him too, and that God enjoys as much as we all do!
Rory Mcilroy: Total Eclipse!
Total Eclipse, Rory Mcilroy - by Miki
On the evening of the second day of the US Open, I made this painting of Rory Mcilroy. I had followed him with delight , to see how he had taken, kept and even consolidating the lead.I had discovered Rory some years ago, and was immediately captivated by the purity, strength and speed of his swing. As an artist I am addicted to beauty, in my case especially in the beauty of movement,and Rory’s swing is a BEAUTY, probably the best i have ever seen. And as a passionate golfer myself, of course, how could I not love it!!!
Well he did it, he learned from the recent Augusta experience and succeeded in winning. And not only to win, he broke many records, 12 if I remember well, What a tournament! The best moment being as he hugged his Dad on that Father’s day, and later, dedicated him the Cup.
In 2009 I made a portrait painting of Rory, published it here in this blog with the text
“This was the last time I saw him, in the Portugal Masters 2009. Unfortunately he was not playing that well, and I rarely saw a smile on his face. But I am sure that one day soon, I will be able to make a smiling portrait of him”
Rory Mcilroy in 2009 - by Miki
Well, he was certainly smiling yesterday, and if I have time, I will do a portrait of him smiling. What strikes me is the difference between Rory 2 years ago and now: he is now thinner, more athletic, more mature. This is good. I just hope he won;t lose his freshness, land somehow, never change. i do love his attitude on the golf course.
