THE PAINTING:
This is part of my "Women in the Arts series". I varnish coffee stained violin sheet music on a primed canvas and then add layer upon layer of first acrylic and then oils. I allow some of the sheet music to show through, where the paint is just thinnly glazed with oil, so that you see some of what it is she and I are so inspired by....the music! It takes a lot of time to paint these figurative paintings but I enjoy every second of it and love the results! I hope you do too.


Here are a few snapshots from our daughter's recent recital. She is so inspiring to listen to and to watch play. The violin is a beautiful instrument.


Beautiful!

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

I am running this one on auction tonight. This is a unique peice inspired by my daughter, who plays the violin. I used extra thick paint, with a palette knife and some musical notes varnished into the composition for added texture and interest. Music and art are very important in my life, so I love to paint every variation of it. Hope you enjoy!
