Gerard, I like it too, well done. I got to know Dex, over many years, from his gigs at Ronnie Scott's. The first drawing that I made of him, just his head, was in 1962, and there were many more up until 1980 when I was invited to attend a photoshoot…

About me:

Painter, jazz portraits, did a lot of work from Ronnie Scott's, who was a good friend.

It's suppose to be humorous!

So nice to see you here on the forum. Your "about me" reveals a very eclectic and wonderful person, as does your interest in American Baseball, so long as you favor the Boston Red Sox winning in tonight's game. :)
Hope you are having a great week.
Sincerely,
Thomas
