Great-Grandpa's Trombone
 

Not sure about the 'seasoned' part (?)-- but. . . just finished this one. Haven't signed it yet as it's pending client approval. The trombone is an antique and engraved all around the bell.

Wow, I need to look up some words to express my impressions better. Very, very beautiful.

Very Nice, I think you can sign it, I can't imagine the client wouldn't approve.

Mary, Claudemir -- Thanks so much!

Terri, I think this is beautifully painted - your edges are soft and the color here is lovely. I went and checked out your website and confirmed my view that you have a wonderful feel for facial expression as well. Time to raise your prices! Congratulations on this one.

Gosh, Linda - Thanks for all your thoughtful comments!
Just raised prices March 1st -- :bewildere . . .

Terri - beautiful job!

What treasures, the handsome little guy, the instrument and now the painting. This is great!

Terri, I keep looking at this painting trying to figure out how you get (or don't get) your edges. They are so natural and soft. Any tips or hints?

Also, there is a subdued tone to your recent work which I love. Doesn't it also help to have such a cute model as well? Attractive people make great paintings really sing. Now that I think about it, unattractive people who are interesting looking do the same thing. You obviously have the former here.

Finally, you handled the trombone's detail work perfectly.

This is wonderful, Terri!
