Gave myself an assignment to do a piece over the weekend and here it is. This is Sharpie and Tombo Markers on marker paper – 17×11.

Here’s the second in the series.

Painted this morning with mah little Wacom tablet and Photoshop. From a reference photo.

Son House was an influential Delta blues musician, and composed one of my favourite songs – Death Letter. Watch him lay it down.
