Here’s a portrait of the great french guitar player Hervé Samb who was born in Senegal . He just made his 2nd album as a leader ”Time to Feel” which is a beauty. I was inspired by one of the tracks of the album called “Sama Yaye” (A tribute to his mother who passed away last year) to do that painting . Please check out Hervé Samb’s music You won’t regret it

Here’s my latest artwork inspired by Bob James and David Sanborn’s latest colaboration: A tribute album to Mr Dave Brubeck called “Quartette Humaine”. I love that new CD and I decided to put the musicians on the canvas listening to  that beautiful music….Hope You’ll enjoy it (Click on the pic to enlarge it )
