Description
This watercolor painting features a violin and mandolin in an attic window scene. As most of my still life paintings do, "Memories And Music" portrays deeper meaning and emotion than is initially apparent. This scene represents the age-old story of a young man torn between his love for a beautiful woman and the lust for adventure. Adventure having won the battle for his heart, the young woman he has left behind has only memories and music to console her.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WOULD RATHER READ THE THOUSAND WORDS THAN DECIFER THE PICTURE:
Sunlight streams through an attic window across the mandolin which seems to be longing for far away places. It flickers through breezy leaves whose shadows elusively dot a violin that seems to protect precious love letters. The painting is filled with symbolism. Besides the obvious glass love birds precariously perched on the window ledge and the model sailing ship, some of the many visual metaphors include the broken violin string which represents the young lady's broken heart and the metronome stopped mid-beat which symbolizes the end of a romance, the end of a heartbeat, a memory frozen in time.
A fragile bouquet of dried flowers, perhaps a gift, teeters dangerously on the edge of a window ledge while intricate lace cascades over the edge like the frail feminine ego. Sheet music titled "Solitude (for the violin)" looms over the scene. Perhaps you can find more. I think you are right - I better stick to painting!
