This was an interpretation of the lyrics to the 1920’s Louis Armstrong song, Black and Blue. Essentially it is about racism and division. The little girl is looking at what she will probably never obtain. / It is a mixture of watercolour, ink, pen and collage.

THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPH / This is actually a drawing I created in pencil, charcoal and ink on paper that was based on a photograph. / Under copyright law my drawing is protected by Carrie Glenn Studios©2003. For any questions on my portrait work, please feel free to e-mail me anytime! Thank you for your support! ;D Charcoal, graphite and ink on paper. My inspiration for this piece is Jazz, pure soulful and uninhibited jazz. Easy and yet complex were the sounds that drifted from Louie’s trumpet. From his trumpet playing to his rich vocals, Louie’s music is a great inspiration to me. I try to capture his depth of character and defined talent through my portrait. I created countless layers of meticulous details conveying everything from the veins in his hands to his handkerchief and the gleam in his eyes that says, he loves what he does. My goal was to truly capture Louie’s soul. ...I can hear his voice singing the song “What a Wonderful Life”...every time I look at this image, which is what inspired me to draw this piece. Enjoy! Original SOLD Here are some examples of my other portraits / / / / For commissioned work you can contact Carrie at: carrie@carrieglennstudios.com and please visit Carrie Glenn Studios /

I love Jazz ..infact I sang Jazz for a few years in my youth. One of my fav songs… was…GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE / CLASSIC BLUE NOTE BILLY HOLIDAY.. However.. I love Diana Ross’s rendition.. nothing but the sound is available on the YouTube connection… / Diana Sings the Blues Blue Note I sang alone in the garden of infinity, / Only I could sing my way to me. One blue note followed the other one / And then, / I was back to a note that seemed to never end I sang for a lover / I sang for a friend, / I sang as moment after moment / Never Never seemed to End Alone yet together, / Perception seems cruel, / Yet when I sang that blue note / I was singing for you too. Forever expanding and evolving / Here we ever shall be / One note to the other, / One note we Call We. BIG PS….............TERRI OF ASPECTSOFTMK / WAS THOUGHT OF WHILE CREATING.. HERE DAISYS ALWAYS SEND ME!!

I had a drawing called the keys to life and I decided to expand on that idea on canvas form….I took my write up from that one this one is 30”x30” x2” acrylic,inks,pencil,pastel I adore the piano I love when you see someone play and they are so full of passion that they become the music ….I had a family of piano players but was never still enough to learn …I thought when I was little that I would be one of those glam women draped over a piano singing the blues …but I sing very very badly and I am innately shy without the help of aid;) the notes I used on this was what a wonderful world…..

Featured in Humor Captured / (Thanks Deri and Meg) Featured in Extremely Positive / (Thanks Chris and Keeli) Charcoal, graphite and ink on paper. / What a musician! One of the many things I have always loved about Louie is that you can hear him smiling when he sings. I have always enjoyed his music and his countenance which are both very contagious. So here is a small tribute to the man that has made me smile so many a time…”What a Wonderful World”. / Original SOLD / For commissioned work you can contact Carrie at: carrie@carrieglennstudios.com and please visit Carrie Glenn Studios

So I am still gathering photos for the CD cover I am designing for the Famous Blue Raincoat, and you will recognise the scene, but I just adored how this came out… Shot on 35mm out of date slide film cross processed… Because it is so dark inside and the dark areas are black I love how you cannot see where the frame ends and the new one begins to make the perfect panorama!

Archie Shepp is one of the world’s greatest saxophonists and a leading interpreter of the blues in African Arts Music. Influenced by Clark Terry and John Coltrane, Archie emerged, along with John, Pharoah Sanders and Ornette Colemen, as one the strongest and most articulate musical voices in the avante-gard movement during the mid 1960s. Archie is a multi-dimensional man of culture: a saxophonist, pianist, singer, playwtright, poet, and professor of history of revolutionary music. He has been one the champions of African-American culture. The revolutionary impact is evidenced in ATTICA BLUES. I continue to be deeply impacted by his music is a spiritual inspiration to the creation of my art. This detailed pencil portrait is 18×24 on off-white achival paper. Sold. On Permanent Exhibition: Arturo’s Jazz Theater, Southfield, MI. It is one of my best works to date.

/ “Jazz” is from my Gallery Collection on my website “The Journey”...original is for sale. Acrylic on Canvas..Three Jazz apples on a Fantasy Landscape background.. Painting the Jazz was exciting, as I chose all those blues, with ribbons of green, and near the centre, intense orange….the rich scarlets of the Jazz, are in brilliant contrast to the cooler colours. / I could not wait to see the finished results, and I was not disappointed… / The Jazz fulfilled my every expectation, that it would live up to it’s name. / Jazz MORNING JOY / Piano buttons, stitched on morning lights. / Jazz wakes with the day, / As I awaken with jazz, love lit the night. / Eyes appear and disappear, / To lead me once more, to a green moon. / Streets paved with opal sadness, / Lead me counterclockwise, to pockets of joy, / And jazz.....Bob Kaufmann

This is another of the flowers from my show and poems for her. Anyone who’s ever heard Miles Davis play would remember him forever! / Most people who wrote about music would say Miles was the greatest trumpet player who walked the earth! / His understanding of written music is well documented and this helps to understand the control her had over his music and its direction. / Miles was a genius pure and simple who left his mark across a broad spectrum of music! / And my poem is a tribute to his greatness! Miles Davis hardly ever spoke and when he did is was so soft that most people missed it! / He turned his back up on the stage while he played the trumpet for us. / Miles was hard, hard as a rock, he learned that in the streets. / He could knock you out with a left and still hit that sweet B note and not even miss the beat! / But his music was so very deep that he proved a rock could cry! / Because in his music was his soul deep dark and full of problems. / He would open up the door for us to get a little peek, and that was why we loved Miles so, he was one of us. / But what we learned from this proud man as we listen to his struggle. / Was the ups and downs of his sweet notes where the very soul of life! / His music took us on a ride from blues to funk and then back to mother africa where it all started. / And then we road with Miles back down to his beloved jazz… some say where his fame is ever lasting. / Miles could hit a note and out it came so clear it chilled my soul! / And hit another and another and my whole body would lose control! / Miles music could wake the dead it was so full of joy, the angles up in heaven would clap and ask for more! / Miles played everything that he could his range was off the charts . / And now our Miles is here no more he’s playing up in heaven! / I can still hear him right now talking all kinds of shit as the lord waves his baton! / Saying “you don’t know this and you don’t know that let me direct this band”! / And then the Lord looks him right in the eyes and says….......................... “Miles my man that why I brought you here!”
