That's a reed organ in the bottom right corner. It looked much much better when first painted, the problem was I never stretched the canvas on a frame and it got folded up bent and abused! Its also bigger than the picture by about a foot on the sides and bottom, hidden by furniture, computa desk etc, its behind my computer.

Paul, the forest pieces are highly representative of the type of symmetrical art I was doing in the 80s, As I said the 1999 acrylic series had to be different as water is less controllable than turpentine.Īlso the painting Samsara has suffered a lot of wear damage with pieces of the paint missing and showing white underneath small blotches and folds in the canvas. thank you so much for the positive responses, Its taken a lot of work and I finally feel like I am finished, just a few minor edits today, and some glitches in the site to work out.PS I don't do internet sales, I'm strictly a local business, so for 98% of you this is not advertising, just informational!! Its costing me only $20 a month for the first year, and about $30 a month after that.Īnyway if you want to see pictures and professional you tube recordings of beautiful clavichords I have built, and pictures of some fine violins I have worked on and a whole lot about me, my philosophy, and how I run a small violin business out of my house, check out this new website and let me know what you think. I am eternally grateful to for providing me with a web page in the old directory(now hidden, but still visible via google)for my limited advertising endeavors, but have decided to ramp it up a bit with a professional preformatted website that I built myself with limited computer knowledge and no HTML skills etc. Now of course that's not saying that much as some very cheap mass produced violins where coming out of Southern Germany 100-150 years ago, but even so, the better ones can hold their own quite well tonally against new Chinese imports in the same price point, that is at least if you don't overprice the antiques. While most shops are focusing on new Chinese instruments, I have been almost exclusively selling true antiques, over 100 years old.

I have a second love, the violin, and have apprenticed and worked part time in the violin business for well on 18 years.
