Ernie Barnes' Artwork Appreciation

[numbah1grimey]

Dude's skills were SICK indeed. Commissioned to paint for the Olympics in I believe 1984? And, did all the paintings JJ did on "Good Times"

Looks like some good $%$ work, especially the first one.

Love seeing his stuff in Good Times reruns, lol. Sugar Shack (first piece posted) is easily one of my favorite paintings.

Love his art, especially The Sugar Shack.

Camp Lo did it justice with the Uptown Saturday Night cover

I'm currently working on some tributes to his work myself.

The "Sugar Shack" painting was also featured on Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" LP cover.The painting with the brother taking it to the cup is probablt my favorite.
