CONTEST: Name This Joe Walsh Painting to WIN A FREE ART PRINT!

December 31, 2013 By GuitarDaddy

 CONTEST OVER – WINNER ANNOUNCED! 

Artist Tom Noll has been honing his talent for years in preparation for this masterpiece of the legendary Joe Walsh.

Tom Noll's Sketch of Joe Walsh

Tom Noll’s Sketch of Joe Walsh

Tom says “I am super excited about this project as I’ve followed Joe since his early days. I remember listening to the James Gang back in high school art class, and thinking then, that it would be cool to do a painting of Joe. That was a long time ago…so its well overdue. What a great way to kick off 2014”.

Now, with close to 60 musicians immortalized on canvas, and an international art reputation as the Rock n’ Roll portrait artist, Tom is ready to sink his teeth into this project!

Joe Walsh is a classic American musician who has been a member of three commercially successful bands: the James Gang, Barnstorm, and the Eagles, and holds the number 54 spot in Rolling Stone magazine’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Besides being an incredible talent, Joe has a way of poking fun at himself and life’s situations, and his wit is infectious.

As his popular song portrays, “Ordinary Average Guy”, Joe is genuinely likable and people can relate to him like a good friend who’s there when you need a lift & a smile. This new Joe canvas is coming to life, and Tom is ready to share it with a little creative challenge for you!

IN TOM’S WORDS:

“I need a steller name for this painting…something other than just a song title, so I’d like to see your imaginative ideas here on the GuitarBuzz. I’ll pick the name from those submitted, and the person who nails it, will be rewarded with a complimentary limited edition print.

You can follow the painting progress on my website for inspiration by CLICKING HERE.

I’m looking for delivery of prints in late January 2014, so let’s wrap this contest up at midnight Friday, January 17th. I’ll pick a name and announce it Saturday, the next day.

This will be fun…Good Luck!!”

-Tom

The limited edition (250) print reproductions will be produced with an image area of 27″ x 19″ (48.3 cm x 68.6 cm), and introduced for a short time at $259, plus shipping of $8.95 US and $16.50 International.

To reserve your low numbered print, CONTACT TOM at Tom@TomNoll.com and he will secure your spot with your email. If you’d like to prepay, he will offer an additional $10 savings with a price of $249. Just let him know, and he’ll send a paypal invoice to your email.

Print Specs: The 27″ x 19″ artprints are super high quality giclees, which utilize fade resistant UV archival inks. They’re produced from the original oil painting, and are rolled and shipped in a rigid tube along with a certificate of authenticity. The prints are perfect for matting and framing, and will be a cool addition to any room.

    I can’t think of just one. My mind races with stuff like this…

    “Slammin’ Jammin’ Joe”
    “Takin’ it to the Limit”
    “My Strat-o-caster does One-eighty-five”
    “In the Fast Lane”
    “Ordinary Average Funk” or maybe “Ordinary Average Joe”
    “But Seriously, Joe…”
    “Rosewood Bitters”

    …probably more to follow.

  32. Ryan McGarvey says

    January 11, 2014 at 1:13 pm

    Been hard thinking of a name for the Walsh piece… Been thinking (and listening to) him a lot lately/looking at the painting… And something along the Lines of “Tried & True (Colors)” Giving meaning to the feeling in it..The subject of Joe being much of a blue collar real deal musician that has been his way all these years and made it to where he is.. a second choice being how un-mistakingly he is still, and always is a “Contemporary Classic” fits so well with the way you have depicted him… Really such a great image its hard to put a label on which brings to a third “Undefinable”. Love it.

      January 11, 2014 at 2:56 pm

      Ryan – Thanks for stopping by the BUZZ… Tom Noll mentioned we may receive a name nomination from you! Great names suggestions! Also enjoying your CD “Redefined”. “So close to Heaven” is my favorite track… Keep Rocking! -GuitarDaddy

  33. Rory Gentry says

    January 11, 2014 at 2:19 pm

    You asked what Joe would call it… Probably something like “I thought I smashed that thing.” I still like “All Night Long” for the title. Joe plays all night long, I can party to his music all night long, and Tom probably painted it all night long.

    Hi Tom, I was delighted to have put you in touch with Phil Lynott’s mother recently but I thought it was high time I tried to get hold of one of your great prints myself. So here goes with naming your Joe Walsh painting.
    “THE EAGLE SOARS” “THE EAGLE FLIES” “ON EAGLE’S WINGS” “CRY OF THE EAGLE” “LIFE IN THE FAST LANE” “TAKING IT TO THE LIMIT” “THE DESPERADO” “ROCKIN’ THE MOUNTAIN WAY”

    Out of this lot it has to be “Taking It To The Limit”

    Regards
    Tommy Stevenson

    Keep up the good work Tom.

  49. Michael Di Girlamo says

    January 15, 2014 at 6:01 pm

    The first choice that popped into my head was “Life’s Been Good”. However, since you don’t want a song title I’ll go with “Bending Notes”.

  50. Andrew Z says

  51. Anthony says

    January 15, 2014 at 7:56 pm

    My two suggestions for the Joe Walsh piece are

    1. “Soaring Eagle” – Playing on the soaring notes from his guitar and his membership in the Eagles.
    2. “Lone Eagle” – One Eagle captured alone in full flight
