Django Oil Portraits Series in the works

Tydides

Hey Djangophiles! I struggle as a beginner in gypsy jazz with my Cigano, but painting is my real talent. I'm starting a big series of Django portraits!
So many great pics for source material.

Got a couple done so far, tell me what you think!



24"x36" Oil/Canvas



18"x24"Oil/Canvas

I have plenty of pictures of Django and Friends that I've gathered to work off of, but please tell me which ones you'd like to see! Thanks.

Very nice paintings. You are a great talent. I like to paint in oil too.
Please show us more pictures from Django that would be great.

Nice work! How about Django with a guitar?

Tydides

jonpowl:
Ha! Yes, absolutely. I have ambitious plans for the great photos with guitar (including that specific one burned into all our brains). The only reason I waited is that guitars are time consuming and I wanted to focus on capturing a good likeness first.

Next up I'm going much bigger (size), and doing the whole band.

Thanks.
