Jazz Musician, Listening

This is an experiment using colored pencil with Golden Gesso for Pastel on a square of 7 x 7 inch cardboard. I've never used gesso before, but like the way it multiplies and randomizes the effects you can get with your pencil strokes. The subject is someone I have probably seen somewhere, but for the purposes of the exercise, I imagine him as a Jazzman, listening for just the right note.
