Wanderer Tops the "Albums" list for 2018/2019

Five songs from Cat Power's newest Wanderer LP made the list of 100. The year 2018-2019 (July 1st until July 1st) is now closed and a new one just began. I'll be painting several more months until all 100 are ready for exhibit for the grand opening of the Top 100 Studio and Archive space. Five songs, four originals (Wanderer, Horizon, In Your Face, and Nothing Really Matters) ans one cover (Stay). Stay is an original from the Bahamian singer Rihanna. Her (original) version is quite beautiful too but didn't make the list of 100 songs. Four of the five are painted as Rihanna's portrait serves as the illustration for Stay. The Cat Power portrait below, painted two months ago, belongs to Horizon. The  final Cat Power portrait for the Top 100 2018/2019 exhibit will have to wait until I go see her live in concert in Tampa in September. It'll be based on sketches done from life.
