"Singer 3" is part of a Singer series I have worked on over the years. The model for this is a neighbor of mine, and he came into my studio and sang hymns that his mother had sung to him as a child. He brought a healing energy into the studio when he sang, and I wanted to capture that in this piece.
I started with a pencil drawing, which took a few days to get right, and then started painting the face with smaller brushes, and then moved out to the background with larger wash brushes.
