The painting “Future Blues” is being shown by the Capitol Hill Art League members who were invited to delve into the abstract, by sharing artwork that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effects using shapes, forms, lines, colors. Inspired by one of the defining Delta blues guitar pieces recorded by Willie Brown.
