My Mandolin is the second of a series of three string instruments I am painting. All three will be painted with fine acrylics on 24 x 12 inch gallery wrap canvas with edges painted.

For artists that may be interested in shop talk:

The little mandolin turned out to be an interesting challenge as it has many components to deal with each having unique surfaces or shapes. The palette requirements were a tidbit of this and that, but mainly: white, black, raw umber, raw sienna, burnt sienna, burnt umber, red, cerulean blue, phthalo blue, naples yellow, and acro gold.

With the gracious support of my wife Carolyn, painting full time became a reality. For me, painting is a gift from God, and the ultimate release of creativity. I paint subjects that catch my eye or from my imagination and don't specialize in any particular area of painting; but, want to make every one of my works special. I enjoy all of it: from taking photographs one day and on to painting landscapes or portraits the next day. ...
