blue train

was planning on a billie holiday painting next, but have been listening to a lot of saint john coltrane, so have decided to capitalize on that.
I hope Billie doesn't feel mistreated, I guess men were always treating her shabbily.

    For the record, the shading on the face is incredible. The way you have the light source as if it is a spotlight so the lower part of his face and chin/neck are shaded is amazing. Thanks for sharing. My favorite painting of the series to date.

    Here's my critique:

    "Goddamn."

    That is all.

    No critique for me. Name three fav Coltrane joints (for today). Mine are Naima, Everytime We Say Goodbye and Dear Old Stockholm.
