Musically Inclined Series ( Viol.) by Bertie Brown

Musically Inclined

original: 18 1/2"w x 22 1/2"h

Violin Class

The violin’s a classy fellow

When bowed he sings a tune so mellow

When plucked

His notes are quite abrupt

And when there’s nothing left to play

He simply packs himself away....

Your beautiful painting instantly brought back memories of seeing my daughter's violin lying on top of the quilt on her bed when she was taking a rest from practice. This is fantastic, Bertie!

Your fabulous painting reminds me of the works of William Harnett, a 19th century American painter--same type of subject matter,just as expertly painted, but with more 21st century colors.

Gosh, Bertie. Every single one of these instruments series has had me floored. I think this one, however, is my favorite. There is something so comforting about the bringing together the sophistication and elegance of the violin with the homespun quilt. Just beautiful.
