Mozza boy..


I'm glad I'm done with this one (for now!). It's been lazying around, unfinished, for months if not years and could not bring myself to do anything about it until this morning. Something is telling me though that it's not quite done with yet..It's NEVER quite done with..maybe it's just a curse...

    Really really nice. His eyes express wisdeom, as if this dude has some real understanding and inner confidence. From his large nose, he appears to be very old, but nicely preserved. :LOL:

    It was a comission I had a while ago but I always felt it was somehow unfinished. After years of having it around I decided to finish it off. But Mozart wasn't all that easy to complete. His bone structure is quite complexe.

    " ... he appears to be very old, but nicely preserved."
    He was 35 years old when he died, dummy.
    TG, I think this is a very poor likeness of Tom Hulce.

    Tom Hulce?
    Not sure who he is.. Maybe the actor who played him in Amedeus? Just a guess.

    I checked him and yes he is..Well apart from this drawing being a comission what interested me is to make a study of Mozart facial anatomy and bone structure because on many occasions I had painted him in a more realistic rendering. This one was aproached from a caricaturish point of view which is what I was asaked to do.In this sense all his features are greatly exagerated and maybe makes one who's familiar with the refined and "platicized" Mozart image in an unchartered territory.

    NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AFP) -- The mayor of New Orleans flew to Cuba Friday on a mission to study the island's respected disaster preparedness methods in another sign of easing diplomatic relations.  The visit comes a day after President Barack Obama promised New Orleans that the government would never repeat the "failure of government" seen after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the jazz city in 2005.  Ray Nagin is the first US mayor to make a diplomatic visit to Cuba in 50 years, his office said.

    This is how it was delivered to the magazine.

    There are a lot of depictions of "Mozza" out there, some more, some less flattering. That's a right boozer's nose, TG.

    Sort of off topic but intersting.
