C-Notes

THE C--NOTES SERIES The C-Note Series was started as a realistic portrait of a classical musician. In the process, the portrait evolved in to a character study of the musician whose name is Carol. In many regards, I considered myself to be taking notes about her. My intent was to show how Carol’s character was made up of layers. I understood the best approach to portraying her would be less than traditional. As I completed the first C–Note painting I was completely amazed that I had reached my goal! The work completely captured Carol’s spirit and character and was certified by all who saw the work and knew her! To date, I have created over 40 C–Notes paintings. The sizes and compositions have grown in scope and what they represent but I remain intrigued by the work and by the process. --Stevens Jay Carter
