Harmonica Pile

Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
This idea was suggested to me by Nathan Elliott (a harmonica player). I chose a variety of Hohner harmonicas we had at the shop including their "Blues Harp," "Special 20," "Marine Band," and "Pro Harp." It is painted with 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# paper. This painting was featured on the Fine Art America homepage from 6/28 through 7/09 of 2009.

Ken - You keep getting better and better just when I think you can't top it! You have such a fine touch with metal and wood. Beautifully painted!

I appreciated your comment on my Greenbank Store painting, Ken. I left a comment there for you. Can you play the harmonica? I have one and just kind of talk through it. You seem to have a very subtle touch without overworking. I like the wood grain too - that's hard to pull off in confident strokes like you have. There's a link off my website page that carries my "Anacortes Fuel" painting. It's a painting of my dog asleep on my floor (thus, the wood grain), titled "Old Dog's Sweet Dreams". I find watercolor has that interesting element of chance to it. Check it out on perrywoodfin.com.

I agree with Nan Wright. It takes a master's touch to get the look of all these textures just right. And you're the one.
