Johnny Cash

Description

Johnny Cash is one of my most popular portraits among art buyers that I have done. This dark and moody painting of the rockabilly legend is based on a number of pictures of Cash in his later years.
The viewer is drawn to the white eyes of Johnny that are set deep within the black and blue colors that are used in the portrait.
The background consists of a magenta and dark blue texture and the painting is framed with splatters and thick brush strokes of white paint.

Again, as in the portrait of Iggy Pop, nice bold use of colour. The choice of blue for the face gives him an almost demonic look which relates to a lot of the darker side of life that he explored in his music. I think this is the strongest portrait in your gallery.
