Hydra abstract
Just back from two really wonderful weeks on a small Greek island, took a break from my jazz portraits and made some abstracts, I don't have a title for this and maybe the 8 is actually an eternity sign.

His name was new to me but I bought his latest album after
reading a good review.

Sam Rivers
Here a new watercolor painting of Sam Rivers, one of my true favorite reed players. Listen to his trio albums or one of his wonderful duo albums with Dave Holland.

Cumberbatch
Never been much of a fan of the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Many people like him though, maybe overacting is the new thing...
Anyway, I made a collage based on him, I call it "Cumberass".
