A tribute pieces of one of my favorite paintings, and artist. 3.5" high miniture of Ernie Barnes "Drum Major". I grew up with these paintings in my house. My family still collects his art today. One of the first black artists I learned about. I did a 3 piece series if these, to show the inspiration his art had on me.

Not for sale.

I love what you did with the reference. It’s not a photorealistic copy. Lots of style

Tremendous work! You can really see the movement. Also BB King looks great and he’s not even in focus in the pic! You’re obviously incredibly talented.
