PORTRAIT OF A MUSICIAN: The above portrait was signed by music phenomenon Andrea Bocelli, best selling classical artist in history. Andrea Bocelli also signed a document to keep with the painting, confirming authenticity. The portrait has since been moderated and is included on the 'BBC History of the World' website.
I was thrilled to meet Andrea Bocelli at a later date, he remembered the painting and I was truly honoured as he sang 'Amazing Grace' for me unexpectedly. Bocelli's legendary status has already been sealed with a Hollywood star laid in his honour, he is genuinely open~hearted and is a positive emblem for both opera music and for the third millennium.
{These portraits are dedicated to the memory of my Mother, May. A Mario Lanza fan, she always encouraged me to paint and look for the beautiful things in life ...}
