I have meet him several times in my life..he is from Indianola,MS 15 miles from home town..the same home town that we have produce..Jim Henson(kermit is based from his classmate Kermit Scott)..Dorothy Moore (motown singer) and Joe Frank Carolla (from. The rock group Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds) when they appeared on American Bandstand the whole town is watching..funny for a middle of nowhere mississippi we have produced some famous folks..there are more that I havent mentioned. Glad you have enjoyed this and thanks for the awesome review

Wow. Yep. Small towns are treasures. That's something to be proud of for sure. An American Classic B B King.

You know it was Bb King and Billy Gibson from ZzTop set up the blues musenum in Clarksdale,MS. Also since the early 80s the Mississippi Delta Blues Festival is held outside Greenville,MS. 8 miles from. Hometown. Thanks for the awesoe review

Your welcome my friend. I somehow I didn't realize you were from MS. Cool. I don't know a lot about Mississippi or maybe I do buy don't realize. I'm sure you were near all the best music growing up then. Very cool.

Mississippi is depressing. 200 square miles of very flatland. While your on the road driving thru there you get see this scene for 200 miles...cotton field..cotton field...shack...cotton field ..cotton..cotton field..shack..zzzzzzz..I got lucky as a kid I got to spend summers with family in places like Houston..New Orleans..Chicago..and I come back to the Delta for beginning of school and look around and say to myself.."I'm getting back to civilization when I get grown"..oh btw..it's hotter and.muggier in Mississippi than in Florida..folks up North say they don't believe it..I say oh yeah? Imagine Florida in summer with no wind..wink

I love all of this information. I truly value what journey's individuals go through. My dad left home on a Greek island at 14 because his step-mom didn't want him and his 2 brothers. He was at sea from then on, not having a real home. He was treated poorly for being Greek, which Greeks can have darker skin and his accent, and he was in many fights. He was a pow in ww2 and got sick his brother and others were leaving him there and got caught ha so when he got out of the hospital they escaped out to British navy. He was held in Dekar in Africa.
I'm telling this to show I am sincerely interested and I am impressed with your journey. I can't imagine another's journey but I can sure as he'll respect it. I actually spent 4 years in Sunrise Florida as a kid..I will write an email in a bit. We are having breakfast and there is a sick bird outside from yesterday I want my husband to check on. I called an agency to help it they said leave it alone so we'll see.
I will write more by email. I read all that you have written here today. Just replying here. I am super impressed. We need to get our sights on that book too, even if it's for kids about a kid like you or however. The story should be out because others will relate.
Thank you so much for your friendship and interesting discussion. Catch you in a bit.
Your friend,
Alex

A lively composition. You've chosen your colors well as they portray this man's vibrancy and style. You've captured the soul of BB King. Nice job!

Excellent portrait of this iconic figure. You've captured his personality very well and the detail in his clothing and guitar is, as always with your work, excellent. Love the colours you used in this and the expression on his face.
Great composition. Thanks for sharing. Suzanne

What a great tribute to an amazing musical artist. You captured so much of his love for the blues and music in his facial expression. I loved the artist notes and I did not know that Jimi Hendrix played with him at all. You took the time to give your audience such wonderful information. Great job and incredible piece of art. Thank you for sharing all of this.

Comment from Barb Baker
I love this one in particular because I loved B B King! What a talent and what a talent you have in bringing him back to life in this piece. love the elaborate coat and all of the rich colors in it!!l
Also love the way that he stands out against the black background. Using this just made him pop!(smart) I also love the look on BB'S face as he is playing one of his many guitars. Your depiction of him and his artistry in this piece is a tribute to your talent my friend as a superb artist. Wish I could have given you a 6 on this. Love, love, love it.
Thank you so much for sharing once again an amazing piece of work!!

Comment from ChuckWaxman
Wonderful portrayal of an exceptional entertainer. Love the color combinations and his facial expression is perfect. Makes me feel like i'm sitting in the audience hearing him sing/play. He was one of a kind. And of course, his guitar is just a standout. Everything is crisp and clear and "alive." Thanks for sharing.
