Description
Acrylic painting inspired by the Rolling Stones fantastic studio album Blue & Lonesome, released on December 2, 2016.
-More than five decades after they started, the Rolling Stones are a rock institution still running on intuition, impulse and chemistry. Blue & Lonesome, their new album, arrived as a happy accident or, as Keith Richards said with his piratical cackle, as if we'd been ordered to do it from some higher being.
It started as a break from their own material, then suddenly turned into a full-scale throwback: the Stones returning to their early-1960s days as a blues-loving cover band, knocking out songs live in the studio and recording an entire album in three days. Blue & Lonesome is the first studio album the Stones have made since A Bigger Bang in 2005.
We've known these songs for 50 years, Mr. Jagger said. It is a learned idiom. It is like me singing in Italian. If I'd been doing that for 50 years, you wouldn't ask me, How do you feel about singing in Italian? I don't feel anything about singing in Italian, I always sang in Italian. It works most of the time. It is like, you just have to go with it and suspend disbelief.
To me it is a homage to all those people that we have always loved since we were kids, he added. I can see why people might find it vaguely not correct, but we have always done it. And the artists themselves, they never objected.- By JON PARELES, New York Times

You have, yet again, captured the spirit as well as the form, of your subject. This is, unmistakeably, Jagger and I can sense his energy, his commitment to his music, through your art. The colouring and toning are exquisite, I am simply in love with how you have brought this to life, as that takes such an amount of concentration, detail and patience as well as ability and imagination. Fantastic, simply put.

I always appreciate, value and respect in a great way people, artists, who really know what they are talking about, sincerely mean what they are saying, and intelligently express their view in beautifully written/spoken form. You really highlighted my day with your wonderful comments today - thank you so very much, Michael! And yes, long live The Rolling Stones and all the Greatest Classic Rock Musicians who made our life brighter, better, more enjoyable! I am lifelong fan, lived through their fantastic music, going on a concerts, collecting, listening their albums, and then expressing my emotional response via painting of my favorites - you can tell who they are visiting my gallery.
