Miles in Blue




I JUST FINISHED THIS PAINTING OF jazz legend, Miles Davis. A little-known fact is that Miles Davis was inspired by Pablo Picasso's Blue Period, and three of his albums reference this - Blue Period (1953), Blue Moods (1955), and Kind of Blue (1959). The background of the painting is a wash of Indigo Blue, and the gold in the trumpet is a glaze of Cadmium Yellow.

The painting is for Crossroads Art Center's Jazz Art Show in March and is framed with a beautiful floating frame. 

The original is 16"x20" and prints are available at my etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1861362130/miles-in-blue-fine-art-print-jazz-art
