Bluesman - Ernie Payne

From a photograph by John Anderson. I used PhotoPaint and KPT Collection filters to create this image. My continuing series of bluesmen from Blue Front Blues Room.

Ben Andrews - Blue Front Bluesman

Ben Andrews is a bluesman that is featured on the Blue Front Blues Room site. I have the permission of the owner of that site to do a series of images using my various digital tools.

Here I have used Painter 8 to paint the portrait of Ben. I used Acrylic brushes and Digital Watercolor brushes to create this image.

If you would like to know more about Ben and other bluesmen I will feature here go to Blue Front Blues Room.

I give credit for all the being original images to John's photography work for the site. If it weren't for John's permission I would not have had such a good group of musicians to do portraits of.

Thanks John!

I'm doing a series of ten bluesmen images from this site for the blog. I hope you enjoy the portraits as I am enjoying them.

Blues Front Site Credit

I recently had contact from John Anderson of Blues Front <bluefrontbluesroom.org> identifying my previous Guitar Player Chording G as a photograph of Rick Payne from John's site as shown above. Thank you, John!

Here I am displaying Bluesman Dave Peabody, also from a photograph of John's. I used Corel's PhotoPaint and KPT's Collection filters to do this derivative piece.

Please visit John's site for an insider look at Blues and many performers. Let me know if the link doesn't work!

I have been busy with a family emergency so I haven't been doing much on the computer recently. So I don't have much to report. But that will change soon, I hope! I would like to write a tune about my experience with the hospital and the family emergency but I remain stunted for right now. A situation I hope to remedy soon.
