The Wandering Minstrel
The Wandering Minstrel

I met Jo when I was exhibiting my paintings at Melbourne Festival, and thought that she would be a very interesting subject to paint. I loved the fact that she had her guitar on her back, as I think she was either going to, or had been to her gig. She told me that she played and sang at venues around Derbyshire, so we decided to go and see her, and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

I loved her happy face, quirky smile and the interesting brightly coloured cardigan and patterned scarf, which I thought would be quite a challenge - and it was!
I did a sketch from photos that my husband Graham took and the painting came from that.
Painted in Acrylic on Watercolour Paper Image Size 16x11 inches
