Another drummer asked me whether I could paint a portrait of Carter Beauford, drummer with the Dave Matthews Band. So I tried and used a photograph. Instead of my usual medium of watercolor, I tried arcylic on canvas. Coincidently, I saw him perform with the band on cable a few nights after I finished painting. Great sound and talent!

Great piece, Mike. Your work never ceases to amaze me! You not only captured the chaos of Carter’s drum set, but you also perfectly captured his expression and attitude!
This work is well worth clicking on to enlarge and enjoy the mix of blast color and subtle shades within the colors… really nice!
