16x16” watercolor and gouache on canvas.

Eric Dolphy is a tribute to one of the greatest Jazz musicians that ever lived. He surpassed his masters quickly and became his own voice and had his life not been cut so tragically short, there would have been so much more amazing directions in modern music.

This piece’s background was created using absorbent ground, watercolor concentrates and palette knives. The geometry was created using layers of Gouache.

Take this one home, put on some Outward Bound and go there!
