In reply to the discussion: This time I tried to paint a human. [View all]PatrickforB
(15,109 posts)52. I like this quite a lot. You captured the mood of this little girl (yourself).
She is deeply intent on the music, nearly lost in it. At least this is my impression upon looking at it.
It has meaning for me because my daughter plays both the piano and violin and she is very good - good enough on piano to play at weddings, funerals and taught piano for a while in her twenties.
I can remember some years ago when she was still at home, and I would hear her practicing on the piano we had in the living room. I'd go in there and just listen, getting lost in the music. To this day, when she's in her late thirties, I still enjoy hearing her play.
Music is magical. In this painting, we can almost hear the music.
