Allan, I did go to your web page to get a better look and I'm glad I did. Well done my friend. I believe you have captured what you saw and you have expressed this quite well. I can also appreciate your intuition in what will work. Al the best at the exhibit.
Your friend

Allan, the painting turned out SO well! The legs are just right and now the difference between the two men's body types makes a counterpoint that goes with the idea of the duet played with two different types of instruments. I like that very much.
Wht a thrill to have this musician come see the show and decide on the spot that he must buy the painting! You couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
Congratulations on the show, and I hope you sell everything and get some portrait commissions, too.

Thanks, Alex,
I'l show you some photos from the opening, it was a very nice day, it felt good that the "Musicians" was finished in time for the day and of cause that it was bought by one of them. Maybe the saw fiddler will never come back to the island because he have sold his summer house there.

Allan--
Congratulations on a great painting and a great show!
The fact that the guitarist was so wonderfully pleased is one of those additional dimensions that makes art such a worthwhile pursuit.
Hope that this exhibit breeds many more.

Thank you, Tom,
I heard that the guitarist comes every day with different friends to show them the picture and that he have arranged with a restaurant that the painting, after the exhibition, will hang on the walls until he decide to end his holidays and return to Copenhagen with it.
I could'nt ask for more.

Allan,
Thanks for posting the photos of the opening. It always makes it easier to imagine being there when you see pictures, especially for visual people like artists. I think it is just wonderful that you have such an enthusiastic admirer in the guitarist!
