The image above was the reference picture made for the painting shown below. Using basic photo- manipulation software on my phone, the image was made and the painting response almost shows the very much Pop Art sense with the solid colours from the reference image but also more of the street art feel with the mark-making through brushstrokes.
The decision to go black and white helps portray the mood and atmosphere in the painting and this was very much at the forefront of my mind when creating this.
Painting
From getting feedback on this piece I apparently have the appearance of "Roy Wood" from Wizzard! Which I can now see, because of the use of black on the bottom half, it could resemble a beard.
I always try and create aesthetically pleasing pieces for the viewer not to mention myself!
