rebetes


This is a quick digital painting I did. A rebetis (pl. rebetes) (Greek ρεμπέτης) is a musician involved in the scene of the Greek musical genre of rebetiko, which flourished between 1920 and 1955 (winkipedia). This painting to me represents Greece and the greek music tradition. I hope you like it.

I like this. I keep wanting there to be a bit more. I'm not sure if it's color, or detail, or if it's fine the way it is. Probably fine then. I really like this and the dog paintings because it looks like you're actually having fun doing it. The work stuff is nice, but it's good to see personal stuff again.

Wow, I love the monochromatic look with the slap of color in the background.

Fantastic painting - am very much into Rembetika at the moment and, for me, this really sums up the spirit of the music - good stuff!
