Wow! Amazing! It looks like a photo. The details are amazing. The scale is spot on. The black and white really looks cool. I'm sorry I don't have a 6 because it totally deserves it! Well done!

Great s
Choice for a black and white presentation. The details and composition is wonderful , you can almost hear the music playing. Nice shading and light on the object with passionate expression.

This is a good achromatic composition. The attention to detail with the figure and the Saxophone is very well done as are the shadows and light in this paining.

I keep studying this painting to try to figure out how you did this with acrylics. The detail work is a "photo finish." The concept and the artistry in this painting work hand-in-hand to become a masterpiece. Sublime!

Great entry for the contest - good luck. At first I thought it was a photograph. Very well done. You have a superb technique. And it is a great subject for your efforts. And as you are new to the site - welcome aboard.

Hey there Janice!
This is a nice tribute to Grover Washington Jr. The rendering of the acrylic paint has been well done with the blending of the color done nicely. The highlights and use of shadow have been applied well and have produced fine depth in the work. The black background is perfect and allows that stark contrast of the musician to speak volumes. Beautiful work and congrats on 2nd place!

The realism here is great. The black background goes well with the subject. The folds in the shirt are excellent also as are shadows from his left arm .
