Painting - Original: Acrylic

Description

A painting and poem from artist and poet Peter Mark Butler's latest collection of Art & Verse Giclee prints presenting the dazzling world of jazz in acrylics and prose. Peter conjures up in portraits and poems the exquisite performances of some of the modern day greats of the jazz world. This portrait captures jazz trumpeter Cuff Billett giving a rousing, virtuoso performance with The Lakefront Loungers at the Ken Colyer Trust 2008 Autumn Jazz Parade. Roguish, even eccentric, Cuff is famous for his superb talent and intense, intuitive, warm-toned style.

Peter delights in creating a fusion of paintings and poems which he personally produces as signed Giclee prints. The poem can be read in the artist's Blog entitled 'Cuff Billett', where he also explains his inspiration for this work. Each print is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
