This is wonderful!! I love it!!! the only valid reason to stop painting music is if YOU want to paint something else!!!
Fantastic painting.
amazing work and a perfect composition of light, shadows and colors! love the focus on the instrument! top work! ;o)
I understand, but no one can paint this "music stuff" so creative and expressive like you!! I just like your paintings - and photos of course ;-)
You've captured the essence of Cajun music here, with this emblematic instrument that is so popular along with others in this tradition. A superb painting indeed !

another of your vital and vibrant paintings of musicians, Jock. Your brushwork and the way you handle color give your musicians a rush of energy like great rivers rushing through the world. Even the shirt here has great energy, the wrinkles and curls flow like rivers. And the pants have a coiled up energy. And your hands---as you often do with hands---are tensed and expressive. And the accordion is alive with energies: You use contrasting colors, and light-and-dark, beautifully. And you get the tight "compression" of an accordion, along with those wonderful keys and how exotic they look. The painting flows from top to bottom, ending in that wonderful accordion, with all its 'parts' just heaving back and forth to make music. (Essentially, an accordion is a small organ, getting its power from wind, and played on keys just like an organ is. Only, in the old church organs, the wind was provided by huge bellows, rather than with the back-and-forth movement of the accordion.) (Both instruments used reeds too.)
You set-off the musician by using that deep crimson/brown background, making the accordionist look like a bright apparition. Without painting his head, you've put all our attentions on his music; and it's masterful, Jock. As all your paintings are. Wonderful. I understand how you'd want to stop painting musicians for a while---you probably needed to rejuvenate, renew...but I have a feeling that you'll be painting them all your life, because you're called to them, and you portray them with such inner energy and power.
Jocko this is fantastic! Lurking here and noticed you got a D800. So fun to see your work after all these years.
