This here is Brittany Howard from the band Alabama Shakes, singing her heart out here. Alabama Shakes is a local band to us here near Athens Alabama. They're up for a Grammy this year I hear and one of their singles Hold ON made it to the top ten Rolling Stones list!
Now this dark bluesy fellow is non other than Tom Waits. Unique to this painting is the fingers and hand continue to wrap around the canvas on this 11/2" gallery wrap canvas. This painting sold already but prints can be made.
Now on to Cathy. My studio muse and I painted this praying form, never knowing that when she was to be finished two and a half weeks later, some madman would gun down Sandy Hook Elementary kindergartners and their teachers. I had always felt that the name Cathy was such an odd pick for this painting until I saw one of the victims faces. One little girl named Catherine V. Hubbard. To me, the resemblance was eerie. Cathy could have been the little girl had she had the chance to grow up, or maybe her mother or grandmother. In any case the family resemblance was just striking. So I auctioned off Cathy to raise money for the Sandy Hook Fund.
