Look what just came in the mail!
Stevie Ray Vaughan by Peter J. Vinton, Jr.
Nope, that’s not photoshopped, it’s an original painting (14×18 acrylic on canvas).
My old college friend Pete saw my recent post about Stevie Ray Vaughan and posted a pic of an SRV painting he had done on my Facebook page. My reply was, “Cool, do you still have that?” To which he responded, “Sure, and it’s yours if you want it.”
Duh.
It’s a beauty. It’s a likeness of a famous photo, which I’m also linking below so you can see the incredible quality of his work. Pete’s always been a very skilled artist. As a matter of fact, he sketched a cassette jacket for a solo release I did just out of college, which I still have around somewhere (couldn’t find it in time for this post).
