I just couldn't imagine painting Carl Palmer and not drawing Greg Lake as well...I know he's not a musician from the Midlands, but he certainly belongs in the Music Heritage Project we're doing. I'll probably get around to doing a painting of Greg and Keith as soon as I get the Midlands artwork finished for the upcoming exhibit.
For those of you who don't know who Greg Lake is (shame on you!) he's the INCREDIBLE voice, songwriter and guitarist behind King Crimson (the first two albums) and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I was a HUGE fan of ELP (and earlier KC) since the 70's. I heard they might be writing new music together...I'm stoked.
Greg, you still turn me on.
Here's another small 9x12 oil study I did of Greg from his video. Using blurry web images drives me nuts, though it is a challenge! This one I'm leaving in England so Annie can get it to Greg next time she meets with Katie.
A gift for one of my all-time favourite musicians. I hope I will get to hear him in concert one day.
