About the creation of "Jazz Man Giacomo ": this painting is based on numerous photos and studies I have done of Jazz Legend Giacomo Gates during his concerts at Jazz on The Plazz in Los Gatos California. It is a one of a kind original oil painting. Retail price, $795

Please visit his web site and enjoy the timeless music of this extraordinary Jazz Singer. http://www.giacomogates.com/

Back in the studio I changed elements, and used still life set ups to create a sense of dimension and realism, but the bar is as it was, and the essence of the scene, is there. As an artist, I have my own vision, that is separate from the actual photo, the intangible elements that defy words, but can only be expressed - hopefully- with imagery.

I wanted this painting to be much more then the sum of it's parts, and to have a haunting quality.

In this painting I used classical painting techniques, this piece took over a month to complete.
