Before he painted live, Frenchy painted jazz musicians from photographs, lots of them. That changed when the Heavy Metal Horns, a Boston brass band, saw his work and invited him to paint one of their shows. He showed up with a full palette of oils and never looked back.
This profile, first published by Where Y'at and shared by The Funky Uncle, finds him as a regular at the Funky Uncle's Wednesday night shows at The Howlin' Wolf and at the Jazz Fest Funk-a-Thon. His work hangs at The Howlin' Wolf, at Harrah's and in his gallery on Oak Street.
“Live painting is about capturing the energy and the image of the bands all in one.”
Frenchy, in The Funky Uncle
