Finally, with numerous requests to create this painting, I started the search for the right image to work from. I am honored to collaborate with photographer Jim Grant with his image of Kenny which was shot in July, 2018 at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe Outdoor Summer Concert Series in Nevada, USA.
Kenny Chesney, born on March 26, 1968, is a popular American country singer.
He released his debut album, In My Wildest Dreams, in 1994, and has since released 19 follow-ups. His albums spawned 27 singles that have peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Currently Kenny has 30 million albums sold worldwide, and is one of the most popular touring acts in United States Country Music.
Chesney has received twelve Country Music Association Awards, including the Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year honor four times, and eleven Academy of Country Music Awards, including four consecutive Academy of Country Music Award for Entertainer of the Year from 2005 to 2008, as well as six Grammy Award nominations.
Shown above is the small colored pencil sketch which will guide the 28" x 40" oil painting. As this painting comes together, I'll be adding the in-progress photos here, so check back often.
When the painting is completed, I'll be producing 19" x 27" high quality limited edition prints on heavy acid free paper stock. Only 100 prints will be available.
Prints should be available late March in my online Art Prints Store, but you can PRE-ORDER NOW to reserve your low numbered print...https://tomnoll.com/art-prints-store
