Seems I'm always starting a new series and never finish it! Short attention span I guess. Husband Barry gave me this idea to do blended paintings of rockstars from young to old.
Once again, Pat Simmons gets to be first in line. Who's next? I dunno. I have to finish a commissioned wedding portrait first. Again...my focus is all over the place! Anyway, here he is: as clear as the driven snow: Mr. Pat Simmons.
Barry saw a new estate auction that popped up on Facebook. It included the personal belongings of the late Olivia Newton John who sadly passed 2 years ago. Among her estate items were several of her own drawings, crosses, mirrors, watches, clothing, and a Bible. It inspired me to draw her likeness. Sweet and angelic...Sandy from Grease. She lived near us in the Santa Ynez Valley and I had the blessing of meeting her and talking to her during one of her fund raisers. I just remember how kind and sweet she was and how her personality matched her perfect voice. Yes, without a doubt, the Heavenly Choir welcomed this new angel with open arms. May this rendering remind us all of this beautiful soul we lost.
Brits throw the word "bloody" around all the time so I figured I'd title this painting with it as well. After all, Black Sabbath conjures up snguinous images of bloody this and that. What rock star collection would be complete without a scratching of Ozzy. Sharrrrrron!
I love that concept
