Default Buford "bluesman" Lewis
Been working on this since early July....FINALLY FINISHED! Saw a very small picture in a music magazine that looked nothing like this, but I got the idea from that, did the sketch on paper and transferred it to wood. A photographer, I'm not....and there is some detail that is lost, but you can get the idea. C & C most welcome! Bonnie

OH WOW,Bonnie Hes really getting it,beating thoses keys plus his feet are jumping too~ Love his shiney shoes & clothes. I thought his sunglasses was really neat but then when I clicked on another pict, MANnnnnnn what a face and his bug eyes. You dressed him nicely,bow tie matches his pants.

He belongs down on Beale Street in Memphis!! Really well carved and painted plus very original work!! I like the total idea of him.

Nice work and thanks for sharing him with us. Tn~
