Bruni The Jazz Masters Series

If you’re a jazz purist, or even if you’re not and just love portraiture and/​or music, you must see the Bruni gallery in Campbell! The artist was there when we went and is SO nice. The work is raw, untamed, semi-​abstract with a huge dose of impressionism. Very unique and inspiring. May even make you want to learn about jazz if you’re not familiar with much of it. But not all of the art is of jazz musicians. There is at least one of Michael Jackson, and some others that are from different musical genres.
I bought a postcard of a painting of Kurt Cobain (happy birthday dear departed Pisces soul — 45 today!), which I treasure as part of my art collection. I paint portraits of Kurt, on a rather profuse basis, so I deeply understand the motivation behind painting gifted musicians with interesting faces. Some of these canvasses are HUGE. I love when an artist knows what they like and keeps painting it over and over!
My review can’t do the gallery justice. You just have to go.

Stopped and stared at this art gallery walking downtown during Campbell’s Big Bands and BBQ — which was actually pretty cool.
They had some oil on canvas Michael Jackson artwork that caught my eye. I’m kinda done and moved on with all the MJ stuff but you know, to some people he meant more to them.
Upon entering there were a bunch of canvasses of musical greats like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Ray Charles. It was literally and figuratively a cool escape, especially considering it was about 90+ degrees out. Not that I’d buy a $ 150 reprint lithograph of MJ but free art galleries are always cool to browse.
Keep up the good and creative work Bruni!
