Artwork Description

I've been listening to a lot of baroque violin during the last few months.

I did a small study just of her face, then this version with more of the action... perhaps I will get around to painting a whole cellist with both hands ?

Seems to capture the feeling of action, focus, her intensity - both the seriousness and enjoyment.

I feel perhaps painting ought to be taught closer to the way music is taught - in small groups and 1 on 1 in the later years...
