Audiences describe his style with words like “melting, vibrant, and dreamy“.
His “Jazz and Blues“ series entitled “Intertwined“ is a compilation of musical instruments and melodic styles. The music of jazz greats such as Muddy Waters help him see musicians and their melting presence on stage. Massenagale then allows his imagination to take him into a small, dark and smoky jazz bar where the dramatic lighting and the music consume the mind. That’s what the paintings are all about; a little fantasy, a little escapism and a great deal of daydreaming.
