Realistic airbrushed portrait of America's most famous blue musician, BB King, "King of the Blues", on a metal panel with a high gloss automotive clear coat to preserve and enhance the painting. Described by Shirley King, one BB's daughters, "One of the best paintings I've ever seen of my father. You truly captured his emotion and feeling when he played a look I'll never forget." This quote is from a direct conversation I had with Ms Shirley King when she saw a post on my Facebook page and she contacted me through a mutual friend who used to work for BB at his Blues Club in Manhattan, NYC, NY. This occurred only days after the passing of my father. She and I spoke and prayed about our fathers, their passing and their influences they had upon us. She graciously thanked me an encouraged me to continue painting and she would follow me and check in every once and awhile.
