New painting - Blues guitarist

Completed a portrait in oil of a guitar player. This was completed over two sessions at the Stamford Arts Centre together with working from photographs. Blue was chosen as a background to complement the guitar and provide a 'blues' feel. The darkness and 'streelight' outside are fictions to give an atmosphere and provide colour echo and contrast, altough a real window was there. The guitarist, Andy, runs the Arts Centre Bar and performs in a band.
