Violin Scroll in Ultramarine

A close study of a violin scroll in deep ultramarine and violet, set against a richly textured, atmospheric background. This wasn't just any instrument; it was my son's. He was small at the time but wanted to play the viola, so his teacher started him on a violin, held and played in the viola style. This painting captures that bridge between two instruments: a testament to a musician's creative beginnings and the quiet, handcrafted details of the objects that shape an orchestra's sound.
