- Soweto Series - Hoo Doo Bones - Oya Series - Shango Series - Turf Board Series - Music Series - This series is really, about those people who have gone before us who have made a bigger space for the rest of us. Nelson's art is not only about the music, it is about the musicians and the colors that flow when he wants to represent the music it is as if he closes his eyes and lets his mind paint the heart and soul, the pain and joy and the hope and love of every cord. The series includes such greats as John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Louis Armstrong, and Bob Marley.
