Wagner's Violin
original watercolor still life with violin, bust: 22" x 30"
is Wagner’s violin
tuned to play his Lohengrin
could that horn a bit too small
belt out Siegfried’s famous call?
and did Wagner fret or worry
that his music wouldn’t curry
to his benefactors’ whims
casting poverty on him?
heavens no
I don’t think so
as his storied life does show

Wow, what an amazing amount of careful work! This sure proves the popularity of mixing patterns in a similar palette! It's a delicious painting. Wish I owned that cloth.
