Sharon Jones of the Dap Kings – LCR009

Acrylic on hardboard

Dimensions: 29cm by 21cm

I´ve tried a few portraits of Sharon, and aspire to doing another, but this one captured her soulful side for me. The original image was black and white and very blurred, I hope I´ve turned that into a sense of Sharon´s shimmering divinity. Lots of layering of acrylics here, some less opaque than others, to add the light and highlights of her face.
