          Wasn't planning on entering this month as I was traveling recently and had a few commissions to finish. Fortunately one of the subjects was a trumpet player so I decided to do something fun 🙂

            @naters-calderone Substitute a mandolin for a violin and I've been that kid a thousand times over!

              @gary-wilkinson Love it! The three colors make me think this guy can play chords on a horn.

                She who always has a song in her heart will always dance.

                Music inspires my little one and she inspires me. If there is a melody anywhere around her little body is moving. I had a neat experience as I painted this one. I decided I would listen to her music as I painted. When one particular song came on, "A Million Dreams", and I stopped painting Avery, I started to make her dance. I've painted her, now how do I make her dance?

                  @demotlj I never pursued an instrument with any actual discipline, I always commend those that have.

                    @chrisaakins Thanks! yeah the story is the strength of this piece. Did you notice how the instructor resembles a violin? (I hope it's obvious enough)

                      @naters-calderone For someone who hasn't "pursued an instrument with any actual discipline", you did an amazing job of nailing the feeling. There are a lot of things people post on the forum that I love artistically but this is one of the first times that I've responded so viscerally (in a positive way) to a piece. Wonderful work!

                        @naters-calderone I totally got that. I thought it was a lady violin at first because of the scroll/bun. (Which for some reason made it all the more awesome that she was kicking his tail.) I love how he finger flicked him to oblivion.

                                @lee-white Hey, Lee (and everybody)! I'm a newbie to the SVS forum and thought I'd jump right into the deep end and participate in the "MUSIC" competition. I call this one "The Pianist". Hope you guys dig it!

                                (edit) I forgot to mention I used a Kuretake brush pen and Deleter screen tone on linen finish Strathmore.

                                    I like the movement in the curves of the cord, and your background and shimmery effect of the circles.
