9x12 acrylic on canvas SOLDThis subject was for the latest Different Strokes challenge. When I saw the photograph I thought the fellow looked a bit tired, as if taking a break. The idea "a blues man" popped into my head so I chose to paint in shades of blue adding just a splash of orange and red for contrast. I also tried to be much more loose in my brush work.

Glenda!
He's great. Definitely looks tired here and I think that the use of the blue colour helps ephasize that metaphorically as well as visually. Another terrific painting. You amaze me!
Glenda, this painting is very nice, I like the blue hue and the reflection on the floor.
Thanks again for you comments everyone!
Beautiful work on this Glenda. I really like the way the blues set the mood.
Wow, I really like this one mom!
