The image below is a pastel painting I found a photo of a Black woman on web and used it as a reference image to create a new piece of art. I hope you'll like it. As usual the paintings and drawings posted here are for sale.
The image below is a pastel of a Black youth. I liked the expression on this kid's face. Yes, he is a kid who probably is from an urban environment. I named him Master Guy. It just seemed appropriate.

The image below is of Lena Horne. You can find out more about this well-known entertainer by
clicking on the image link and going to her page on Fine Art America. Her bio can be read there.
Eartha Kitt is another famous entertainer. She may be relatively unknown to a younger generation but she played Cat Women in some of the Batman series episodes of the 70s I believe.

The younger generation may not recognize the name of Nina Simone, entertainer singer song writer and 60s activist. She is no longer with us but she has left her mark on the cultural face of our nation and the world.

I had a bunch of uncles when I was a kid. Some of them were my favorites. One of them was the oldest uncle at the time. He was uncle Jack. He was my gandmother's oldest brother. On special family occasions I had the tendency of hanging around the older people. Uncle Jack would pull me aside. He would say, "come here boy. I want to give you a piece of money." Sometimes it would be a quarter and at other times he would give me a dollar. If it was a quarter it would be enough to buy a bottle of Pepsi and a Tastykake lemon pie. Anyway the following pastel drawing is my rendition of my uncle Jack.
I love the colors in this next pastel drawing. The different tones of brown and tan feel very warm and welcoming. And the model is gorgeous too. I call this one "The Singer."
