South side of Chicago native watercolor artist Jim Doody paints his blues music-inspired art with his ears, as well as with his eyes and hands. Like a twelve-bar blues song, Jim’s compositions are simple, yet detailed, colorful, expressive, direct and to the point. And every time you experience them, you discover something new.
What draw you in are the vivid colors. Vibrant. Unpredictable. Expressive. Colors creating their own energy, depth, mood, and sense of motion. The exaggerated perspective gives each piece a unique dimension. And the attention to detail captures the character, authenticity and integrity of each visionary musician and their instrument. The stark white backgrounds symbolize the purity and originality of their sound.
In addition to his originals and giclee reproductions, Jim has painted guitars for the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California. Two of these custom hand-painted guitars are now owned by Blues legend Buddy Guy. Jim’s studio is in Costa Mesa, California.
