(Wright, c.1970s) An original painting created for an album cover for singer-songwriter Syreeta Wright. Known professionally as just "Syreeta," Wright's talents as a R&B and Soul artist led to multiple studio albums. She would marry fellow musician Stevie Wonder, and would provide backing vocals on such hits as Wonder's "Singed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)." The painting, which beautifully depicts Wright, was created by renowned illustrator Peter Green, who was commissioned by Columbia Records to create this painting, and has signed the bottom right. The artwork was ultimately unused as an album cover, but may have been used in additional promotional or marketing materials such as sheet music. Accomplished in oils on canvas wrapped board, the painting measures 26.75"x20.75" and is in very good condition with minor surface wear condition.
