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.

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

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.

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.
