What a great lady

[@jeffolsen4983]

Oh my oh my. I've so much to say. Not right now.

[@mountdore]

How did she do that painting while wearing a white sweatshirt without getting paint all over herself?? (A big fan of her music!!)

[@williamwhite999]

She's an amazing artist

[@thornil2231]

LOL That's stating the obvious...

[@MellowWind]

Is there more?

[@WVgrl59]

Man I would have had it all over me.😁

[@jordanwhisson5407]

I've seen a few musicians take up the brushes and most are utterly appalling and require professional artistic help

[@oldbeatpete]

actually, most are good! Tony Bennett, Grace Slick.....

STICK TO SINGING, MY DEAR. LOL.

[@sess122]

As a formally trained/schooled AND "noted" fine artist, I couldn't agree more. She's not creating paintings, she just thinks she is, using her name recognition as a musician to convince others she has any fine art ability. IMHO, the canvas and paint she's "messing around on" here is worth more than what she's "creating".

[@harridan.]

She's just playing here. her more serious work rivaled Van Gogh, Dali.

[@chuck1804]

You do know she painted several of her own album covers, including her earliest releases Song to Seagull and Clouds? Look them up. She can paint.

[@sess122]

Crap. Stick to your music, Joni.
