Killer Queen, Freddy Mercury, Top of the Pops, Watercolor, 2019
Original In Private Collection, Oregon, Unavailable
It's pretty wild that Freddy was a lover of cats, and no sooner did I bring this portrait to my music group members home as a winter gift, the cat came over to greet the picture. I thought it was a funny little coincidence.
This is a much nicer version of the smaller version watercolor I posted a few years ago.
This portrait brings back bittersweet memories. I still love this song and performance to this day. The costume, the charisma, a lot about it. At the actual time I painted this I had some health struggles, but still working on this artwork was therapeutic.
I would say I didnt use transfer paper to block this one in, but I think I did. It helped me achieve nice lines on the hands and accessories.
