I love the sax, and try to play it. I just wanted to say that in this picture.

I think it's gorgeous. It embodies so well the fiery spirit behind jazz. I like it.

Thanks. It was oil paint and oil bars on board. I needed a hard surface to attack energetically! It's quite big, too, which helps when you're doing something like this.

I really like your style/technique Lewis!!... it has a certain....something which I can't put my fingers on.




mmmmm, jaaazzzz

Really, really nice! Do you sell any of your work?

Thank you.

Certainly do! That one's sold to someone on the Costa Del Sol though.

PM me or take a look at the website.

Thanks Kelly. I'm practicing the abuse.....

LEWIS OMG!

That so rocks!
You captured the vibe so well.. I used to play the keyboard quite a while back.. it's still sitting under my bed *wonders if it still plays* either way.. I only get a 'vibe' like that when listening to techno.. the music seems to flow through your veins and seep out your pores! And flow around you in every which way..

Either way.. think you captured the moment fairly well.. heh

Thanks to all of you for your encouraging comments. I never knew I had so many friends! Feeling inspired. I'll find some more and put it up soon.

anti fishstick

yes, this is a very kinetic piece. i definitely get that movement, that expression, that connection with the music. i hear it

That is an incredible picture! Just so happens I was drinking some shiraz and listening to some jazz when I looked at this and I immediately felt the emotion in it. Again, incredible. I would love to see more.

Lewis

Thanks to everyone! This is great. I love getting your comments.
Cheers! I'll do more!
