~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've long been an avid fan of all things related to "BLUES." And ... since somewhere around mid 2002 I have pretty much painted only blues personalities, working from my own photographs taken at the various "Blues Festivals" which I attend (festivals for the most part in the MISSISSIPPI DELTA region), but also from photographs provided by commissions and public domain sources or explicit permission obtained from photographers &/or the personalities or their agents.

In the Ms. delta region, my work is exhibited for sale exclusively in SOUTHERN EXPRESSIONS on Delta Ave in CLARKSDALE, MS.

One of my paintings, depicting the interior of GROUND ZERO BLUES CLUB in Clarksdale (which I painted for MORGAN FREEMAN and personally presented the painting to him, my hands to his hands) is displayed in MADIDI, the upscale restaurant in Clarksdale Ms; also co-owned by this famous actor.

This was in GROUND ZERO BLUES CLUB the evening after I presented to Morgan Freeman the painting and he instructed that it be hung in the main lounge in Madidi Restaurant.

Southern Expressions typlifies the new life being breathed into

the area known as Blues Alley in Clarksdale, Ms. This shop on Delta Ave, only a matter of feet from Ground Zero Blues Club is stocked with quality, strictly original works of art created mainly by the ladies pictured above, and I feel priviledged to have my portraits exhibited there. Thanks Wendi and Norma...

The Depot Blues Club & Restaurant...August, 2008

This is absolutely one of my favorite places in Clarksdale, Ms.

pretty quiet in the mornings around there but certainly livens up during the evenings, especially during the festival days and they serve some of the better food in this area.

Seems this place no longer functions as it was last time I was

there...and I didn't have the opportunity to talk with these folks

this time around.
