I went to Georgia to visit my son. We had fun playing on the beach at Tybee Island. We ate at a great restaurant in Savannah. I really enjoyed walking through town. Savannah has town squares about every block or two. As we walked through one of them, I was intrigued by a violinist who was sitting on a park bench. I could tell he loved his music. I painted this in honor of my friend Hunter Haskell.
The picture has the violinist on a bench which is silhouetted against the bright background of sun on the grass behind him.
Comments on The Violinist
Impressive! I’m always intrigued with your treatment of a person’s clothing, not to mention the figure itself and the great background.
That painting is very fun!
I LOVE IT!
I love how you can make people hear what you paint. Magical.
Tom…that hair is classic~it really goes with the instrument. While in Phoenix, I had the chance to sit down with the musicians (some of them) in my family….my sisters daughter, son-in-law and kids. They all play stringed instruments…violin, guitar, base..it was awesome. I made the comment to Lizz (my niece) that her violin added such a rich dimension to the guitar music..plus we were all singing. You made a mistake by not continuing but God gave you other talent to develop and you’ve done so in an amazing way. Richest blessings!
This is great! You can paint a violin even better than you can play one 🙂
Very nice! Going to savannah was so much fun!
I’m honored, Tom. Someday, maybe I’ll be able to play the way you paint. Thanks for all for your support and for this awesome painting!
