Gary Brooker MBE, 2008

Your chance to own this artist's portrait


Offered for sale, at eBay, is this portrait of Gary Brooker MBE, by UK artist Steven Fellowes, who specialises in portraits of rock and pop artistes.

'Beyond the Pale' is selling the painting on behalf of Mrs Franky Brooker, and the entire sale proceeds will go to the BJ Wilson Memorial Fund, which looks after the family of the great percussionist.

Executed in acrylics on canvas, 16 x 12 inches, the portrait
will be supplied unframed, rolled in a stout postal tube, with a dated provenance signed by the artist.

Suitably framed, it will grace any music room, making a lively and attractive conversation piece for the discerning music fan.

As with all oil-type paintings, it's difficult for the non-specialist
to photograph this item without unwanted reflections and highlights.
Here are two attempts to hold the flexible canvas straight, and
also give some indication of its size relative to a typical British
music-stand or hand. The main illustration, above, was made flat
by inserting the canvas in a flatbed scanner: that's how we think it
will look, framed, on the successful bidder's wall.

Originally from Liverpool, Fellowes has moved to southern England, where most of his commissions come from.

'Although it is photographic in a sense, this portrait is painted with a natural flow of the paint,' Fellowes comments.

'I hope that whoever buys this work will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have, painting the portrait of an unique talent.'

Place your bid with confidence via eBay.

 Thanks, Franky
