Tones and reflections

Striking painting - smashing angle, The reflections are so well done even down to the plug socket reflected in the piano. Excellent. Is it oil?

This is lovely work, love the reflections in the piano - I think those angles would have driven me mad!

JEANETTE- thanks, It is in oil and measures 100cm x 80cm. CAROLE- the angles really DROVE ME MAD it has taken 2 years of planning, postponing, delaying, and painting to figure this one out and I am still not convinced it is finished!

Agree with Jeannette and Carole a very striking piece of art done from an unusual angle.Two years ! You must have the patience of a saint and be very dedicated, which you are of course, it shows in the work you produce.

Thanks Val- most of those two years was in my head........I think we suffer sometimes as artists just thinking how we can even get started on a piece that we have already conceived- and thats when the work actually starts...........I vividly remember going through the agony of just looking at the picture reference in despair...............what made me that discouraged was the keys on the piano- those tone-tone, semi tones--tone-tone-tone, semitones..............aaaarrrgh! I still didn't get them right and unfortunately I had a music graduate check it out for me while trying to take a picture of it outside my studio and he actually started counting some of the keys to know if it was a 5 or 6 octave piano and all that---ohhh it made me more agonized as I thought I could get away with that..................but his analysis of it all was liberating! .Nuff said!

i think it is excellent i love the piano black how it picks up the other colours surrounding it,brill.....chris

Thanks Chris! You had a double entry!

Hi Adebanji your work never ceases to amaze me...it popped up on the right, at first I thought it was a photograph...then from the colours & subject person...I knew it must be you...I admire your technical brilliance...it took me days to master, and draw my basilica viewed from above...

Thanks Phil,....... you just somehow, always seem to make me happy!
