My wife & cello

[Chris Saper]

Gosh, Mark I can't believe I didn't see this right away, my apologies!

I actually love this painting, and find it very Old World in its feel, contemplative, and gorgeous in its color harmony. I like the composition, the brushwork, and am not troubled one bit about the dominance of the cello. (My husband once nearly was removed from a plane for refusing to give up his seat to a cello. Eventually, the cello won.)

Fortunately for you, you still have both wife and cello (and hand), and can keep going on this beautiful theme.

Chris,
Thank you very much for your generous comments! Sorry to hear about your husband losing his seat to a cello. That's very funny. I will have to share that with my wife. Im sure she will enjoy that tid bit.

I like this painting very much Mark - the lighting, colors, composition. Is this the entire painting, or is it a crop from a larger image? Just curious since when I first opened it, I was looking for the whole painting thinking the image was a close up. Love the Renaissance dress!

Hi Heidi,
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I appreciate your kind words very much. Yes it is the whole painting not a crop.
