K. Madison Moore painting of Johannes

JohannesWine and Jazz Series ~ 12 x 22 inches ~ Oil Painting on Canvas

"First I want to thank Johannes for his permission to use his photos to create this composition. My intentions for this painting was in no way to do a portrait piece but more in semi abstract. I find with painting portraits that everyone sees another in a different manner than maybe someone else would see them. I generally stay away from portraits but Johannes has such a beautiful face and his music projects his beautiful personality as well as his talent that the painting just went into this direction. This painting was a big challenge for me but I am pleased with the end results. Please stop by Johannes website to hear clips from his new album. Meanwhile I have presented some of his wonderful music today on my blog. Such talent!!" ~ K. Madison Moore
