Description
Holding the Song is an original figurative painting created in acrylic on panel. Built with layered, intuitive palette knife work, the surface carries visible texture and movement, allowing the figure to emerge through color and gesture rather than precise detail.
The painting depicts a seated blues musician, Thomas Jackson, holding a guitar in a quiet, reflective moment. Cool blues, soft pinks, and muted neutrals create a sense of stillness and presence, evoking themes of music, memory, and the act of listening—both to sound and to lived experience.
This original painting comes framed in a gold frame and is ready to hang upon delivery.
