“I thought you’d like to know how this painting of ‘The King’ came

into being”.

My wife and I have a very dear friend who has been a huge Elvis Presley fan since he was a child. He seems to know every song that Elvis ever sang, let alone recorded. In conversation with him a couple of years ago, I found out, to my amazement, that it would soon be thirty years since Elvis passed away, and I thought that this remarkable man, on stage, in his trade-mark white jumpsuit, would make a wonderful painting.

Well, to cut a long story short, I did the painting as a celebration of his life, and I’m really proud of it. I hope you feel that it captures ‘The King’ as he is best remembered.”
