A Neil Young Portrait

Neil Young
Portrait by Merv Scoble (enlarge)
Acrylic on canvas - 27" x "36" - ©2011


As regular visitors know, we get quite a bunch of "Neil Art" submitted.

You name it. Sculpture, paintings, graphics, and on & on. Some of it is really quite nice. Others? Well, not so nice.

Here's a cool Neil Young portrait by Merv Scoble. It's acrylic on canvas 27" x "36".

Just thought we'd share.

Got Neil art?

Drop a link below.

I love this painting. I think Merv really captured something wonderful about present day Neil. Ragged glory! :)

Here's another one from Nashville:

Celebrating the great International Harvesters album A Treasure! I still love this real treasure! And it's also nice to play A Treasure first and let it follow by Old Ways. You can try this at home. It's really nice. But if you have an old record player be aware not to play side four. I did do this a couple of times but it's way to experimental. Experimental thrash noise!

My favorite is still Shepard Fairey's portrait of Neil:

I'm sorry but this painting doesn't do it for me...a bit strange...but hey art and its perceived value is subjective
