Gary Moore: NAME THE PAINTING Contest!

December 3, 2011 By GuitarDaddy

Last week, I posted: Tom Noll Soon to Release Painting of the Late Gary Moore PLUS Live at Montreaux CD and DVD Give Away Contest!

The response has been fantastic with comments coming in from readers all around the globe who were influenced by Gary’s Music. And after all…what guitar player would not want to win a Gary Moore CD or DVD?

As a part of the CD/DVD giveaway contest, I updated everyone about my favorite artist Tom Noll and his latest project – a hand painted scene of Gary Moore playing guitar live.

Tom Noll painting Gary Moore (work in progress)

Well, Tom heard about the post and contacted me with an idea for a 2nd contest and a chance to WIN A FREE PRINT of his completed painting!

Here is the deal:

Tom has an idea in his head for a name of this painting but he would also like to open this up to Gary Moore’s fans and let them suggest a name to the painting!

The contest is simple, if Tom selects your suggestion as the final name for the painting, you will receive a FREE PRINT (Tom sells these for over $200.00+ on his web site). All I can say to that is WOW! THANK YOU TOM!

Over the past week, Tom and I have exchanged several emails about the Gary Moore project. Here are a few excerpts that will give you a greater understanding about Tom Noll, the artist.


I have had numerous requests over the last few years, mostly from my UK clients, as to when I was going to do a GM painting. When I recently watched a YouTube vid of him doing Jimi’s Red House, I realized that from that clip alone, I’d seen dozens of inspirational images that would be perfect for a painting.

After careful consideration, I have chosen an image from a concert in Austria, provided to me by Rene Huemer of Austria for the painted piece. The energy of my style and Gary’s expressiveness when performing are a perfect match. In addition to his euphoric look, I’m excited to paint the legendary Peter Greene GoldTop that he is doing his thing on. As I’m painting Gary, I’m reminded of all the people that he’s influenced, and I’m feeling an enormous obligation to capture the Gary we knew and loved, and bring forth his passion.

I’d like to extend to his fans, the opportunity to name this painting. I’m offering one of my signed limited edition prints to the person that gets my attention and nails it. It’s really exciting involving his passionate fans. I think that the name should speak of the late Gary’s passion, his energy and fury, his soulfulness, and/or his GoldTop. As a default, I probably would have named it “Rock In Peace”. Ultimately, from the suggestions provided, I’ll pick the name that will live with the painting for the future.

Fans can see the painting’s progression on my link, and they should realize that their suggestions are being mulled over by myself, the artist, as the painting is progressing. I’ll pick a name when the painting is completed. `The giclee prints will be 27″ x 19″ and will be released at an introductory price of $217, with $8 to ship within the US, and $12.50 for international. The proposed completion date is mid to late December. You can reserve your low number Gary Moore print by visiting my site and contacting me via email to get on the list. No money’s due until they are ready to ship.

I look forward to hearing from The Guitar Buzz followers on this exciting piece.
– Tom Noll

    I believe the name of the Gary Moore print should be “High Voltage”. That’s the way Gary played, loud and raw.

  2. Jeff Boehlert says

    December 3, 2011 at 5:12 pm

    Power of the blues

    My pick for a title for the Gary Moore, painting Is “Blues Spectacular”.

    Gary Moore is awesome. Thank you for this great opportunity as a fan to have a chance to name the artwork, and is a privilege. I have to say the artwork is beautiful and very creative. I would name the piece “Thunder Rising”, named after one of his songs. The songs title describes a single warrior. in which the artwork follows suit with Gary Moore tearing it up on Guitar(the single warrior). The title”Thunder Rising” would pay homage to Gary Moore and his creativeness, as well as the artist Tom Noll. Keep up the great work Tom. Simply awesome work. Thank you

    I’m a huge Gary Moore fan. His passing was a great loss to the music world. My suggestion is “Still Got The Blues” which was the title of one of Gary’s best known songs and one with great guitar work on it which would match perfectly with the image.

  6. Andrew says

    December 3, 2011 at 9:24 pm

    I vote for “Forever Got the Blues”
    or “Irish Blues Power”
    or “Moore Blues”
    Or “One Moore for Greeny”
    or “Play it again, Gary!”
    or “Heart, Soul, & Guts!
    Or “Heaven is Rockin’ NOW!”

    Tom here…the artist.
    I’m quite humbled by the nice response to this blog and all the emails that have been sent to me reserving prints. I’m gathering your reservations for safe keeping until the painting is done, then…I’ll arrange to get them into your hands.
    I can already see that this is going to be a tough decision, although only hours into it, I’ve already got some favorites.
    I’ve added another in-progress photo to my site and will continue to do so as I go along.

    Its great knowing that you’re watching Gary come to life on the canvas with me!
    Keep the title ideas coming…and please stay in touch.
    Tom

  16. Richard Collins says

    I think “Blues for Gary” is a suitable title for this artwork, Gary had done a tribute album “Blues for Greeny”….Now as this is a tribute to Gary himself I feel it is a worthy name…

  17. Michel says

    December 4, 2011 at 1:28 pm

    “Moore Better Blues” or “Rock Solid Blues” or “Rock Shaded Blue” …Gary’s tone and phrasing were so identifiable – love his music

  33. Michelle H says

    December 7, 2011 at 5:07 am

    This painting is amazing … wow! I’m a huge fan of Gary Moore so this painting touched my heart a bit.
    My first thought for a title was “Jumpin’ at Shadows”, looking at the painting more,
    “The Messiah Will Come Again” is probably more fitting:)

  34. Frank Willenburg says

    “Lost in the Passion”

  35. Frank Willenburg says

  45. Tom Noll says

    December 9, 2011 at 1:50 pm

    Well…I gave Gary strings today for that beautiful Les Paul guitar.
    I do have to admit that I’ve become a little misty eyed a few times during this re-creation of Gary.

    WOW…I am in awe over all the great names you folks are putting into the mix. I suppose I should have been responding all along the way to your ideas, but…well, I’ve been a little pre-occupied. Please forgive me!!
    I’m closing in on this thing and am mulling over some of my favorites. If you’ve been holding out…its time to bring it on!
    Thanks everybody!

  51. Warren Parker says

    December 11, 2011 at 8:00 pm

    One last one for me.

    “Soulful Expressions”

    Gary’s facial expressions matched his musical expressions. You could see what he was playing just by looking at his face and you could see that he felt every note.

  52. Michelle H says

    December 11, 2011 at 11:45 pm

    “Blues at Sunrise”

  53. Michelle H says

    December 11, 2011 at 11:49 pm

  54. Vicki Hamilton says

    December 12, 2011 at 5:00 am

    I thought I had already submitted but I can’t see it. I love Gary Moore and was lucky enough to see him play twice within his last year. I would like to suggest “Encore” because that’s what all his fans are wishing for. RIP Gary – sadly missed

  55. Vicki Hamilton says

    December 12, 2011 at 5:04 am

    “Perfect” ………. actually that was all I could think of when I saw the new photo with Tom sitting beside the finished portrait. (Perfect Sounds…… or……..Sounds Perfect) I had never heard of Gary Moore til you did this painting so I looked him up….he was a real fretboard master.

  60. Gary Allison says

    December 13, 2011 at 7:14 am

    After 37 years of listening, watching, reading about and seeing Gary at his amazing live gigs, I have only one title to give to your superb and beautiful painting Tom and that is:-

    “Guitar Genius”

    The reason why I use this superlative is because I believe Gary Moore was a really truely gifted guitar player and his song writing composition truely exceptional.

    To me he was the greatest technical guitar player with lightning fast fingers but he was also melodic as he could make his guitar talk with every emotion. Thanks Tom

    Gary

  61. Tom Noll says

    December 13, 2011 at 8:30 am

    I am thrilled that through my painting, a few more people have discovered who Gary Moore was, and what a talent the world lost.
    Let’s continue to spread the word.

How about “Power, Feel and Emotion” …Gary’s playing was raw and he played with such emotion, power, feel and soul!
