Ronald Jenkees - Musician

For this painting, I used oils. Trying to incorporate more colors to his face, I ran into a bit of a challenge, but who doesn't love a good challenge? The background represents the visualization of the audio bars and waves you would see on a computer screen. Icy, sharp and precise.

Also shown in the background are his many computer monitors. His hands represent speed, as sometimes his fingers move at a lightening pace. Hence, the reason I outlined them in gold. The gentleman I'm referring to as "his" is Mr. Ronald Jenkees. For those of you who have never heard of Ronald Jenkees, just take a look at 'You tube". I've included a video of him on my blog. He is an internet sensation and a brilliant composer and musician.
I wish I had the privilege to say that I know him personally. I wish I had the honor to call him a friend. I don't know him, but his music is what inspired me to paint him.  He plays his music with such passion and a sincere and genuine happiness. He is unique and humble. A true inspiration to not only musicians, but to people everywhere. He is encouraging and is always spreading his main message..."Just have fun". Ronald enjoys what he does, and that is play music from the heart. He takes the keyboard to a whole new level.
