“leader of the band” 36”x48”Sunago oil on canvas

The art of storytelling is important when leaving a person’s legacy in oil and this oil painting of a man is no exception. This grand man was the founder and leader of his own orchestra for much of his life, and although members may have come and gone, the one constant in his life was his trombone. The painting shows his love and connection to his instrument and his music. The gentle embrace, the style of his clothing and his positioning tell a tale of passion, entertainment and elegance. While the painting gives the feeling of a time that has past, there is also hope and a dignified message of excellence. As this painting is created in oil, his message will live on in perpetuity.
