New Work

I am posting some of the projects I have been working on for the past month or so.

1. I completed a painted violin for a University of Michigan Musical Society Fundraising Auction and documented the process along the way.
2. A mixed media piece I created from the violin sketches I made up when brainstorming.  
3. I also experimented with a stylized, almost abstracted piece that was accepted in the Great Lakes Small Works show 2013 at the Riverside Arts Center.

I was asked to do a painting on a violin for a University of Michigan Musical Society (UMMS)  fundraiser. After coming up with several designs, I decided to paint a colorful landscape in a style that I have been exploring the past year or so.  Here is my mock-up, which works well as a graphic.  It will be an adventure to paint it on the actual violin!
