"Sax in the Park"

This is an original oil painting on linen, by Artist Riki Nelson. .

It is also available as an 18 x 24 limited edition Iris print on stretched canvas.

Both are available through Peabody Fine Art Gallery of Los Gatos.

The History Behind the painting; The Sax Player depicted in this painting, is acclaimed Bay Area Jazz Artist Anton Schwartz www.antonjazz.com

Anton has won over listeners and critics at high-profile jazz venues across the country, including the Blue Note in New York, Washington D.C.'s Blues Alley and the Monterey Jazz Festival. His frequent appearances at Yoshi's in Oakland draw sellout crowds, and each of his three CDs has earned sterling reviews and strong airplay. While his own writing earns consistently high praise, Anton remains as much at home with the great jazz standards as he is with his own compositions.

This Painting is of a performance given last summer in downtown Los Gatos during the Jazz on the Plaz concert series.
