Scott,

It was your beautiful portrait that inspired my thinking. I was going to make an attempt to replicate your composition as a sort of "after Scott" gesture but time got away from me.

I confess to having the same sensibility as Steven regarding the off centered composition of #5. I rather like the tension and the odd balance.

Your remarks regarding the "too busy" nature of the chair arm and the scroll of the violin were my concerns also. I tried a chair without arms but she seemed to be more at ease resting her elbows on the arms. Anyway, I thought I would have a shot at zapping them away latter as the following indicates. This shows a much more interesting pattern with the head of the violin. The arms still look believable to me, what do you think?
