This is an oil by Michael Allen.  He has the Blues Gallery in The Crossroads.  In fact he’s a Blues musician himself, with a lovely wife who I’ve had a crush on for years, and some great kids all grown.  Cool courtyard out back as well, from which you can hear the trains pulling out of Union Station when you drink beer on Saturday nights.

The painting is in the Block Collection.  Hope you like it as much as I.  Yeah, I know the photo sucks.  But don’t blame me; I didn’t take this one.
