This fine young man was the lead singer in a Jamaican band that played on our cruise ship during the same vacation this past February. I had him write down his information but can’t seem to find it. His full name, country and email address are in an older journal or sketch book, but I haven’t been able to find it. If and when I do I’ll email him and send him the painting.
The band played one set of Jamaican music and then came back in the afternoon for – believe it or not – a set of country music. They did both very well, and their accents added something special to the second set. I painted this while sitting on the deck. It was very cool and windy that day. Most anything that wasn’t weighed down on deck that day was blowing about. I like the painting, but knew something wasn’t quite right. Today, I checked photograph I had taken on the ship and added just a touch of paint under his chin.
