S_V_H Vivaldi La Primavera Allegro final image


Vivaldi  Four Seasons Spring Allegro, 2 panels 12 inches by 6 feet. What can be said is that this is a dinky 400 pixel picture for a small, by the standards, work of art, so detail is lacking.  This final, final version brought balance to the 5 eighth notes (those yellow things).   Enough disorder was left for them to counter nicely with the beams (those red rectangular boxy statements)  that hold eighth and sixteenth notes.

This is a simple painting that occurs about 8 bars into the piece, that reflects the easy beginnings of this classic.  Because of its straight, clear and precise sound it was easy to capture on such a small canvas the music’s fluid movement.

This painting may appear on the main website page.  If it does a much larger and more detailed photo will be posted.

Vivaldi update & image 1 of The Very Thought of you

Close up of the base that represents the staff for a great song The Very Thought of You; with the Nat King Cole, Etta James, Billie, Ella and Tony Bennett’s recordings each inspirational.

The Vivaldi’s painting is now, for sure, completed; but not photographed.  Each painting requires just the right lighting setup and none are alike.  The problem with reflections is the most difficult to resolve, and although the lighting is generally good it could be better done in the future.  There are only tweaks that are done in Photoshop:  It’s gotta be a good painting, and it’s gotta be a good photograph; no excuses.

Vivaldi La Primavera Allegro final image (remake)

It is not a setback, a defeat, or just failure, that is one of life’s great problem. What is is excepting less: taking the discount and not having the guts, the courage, the will, or the belief to commit to paying full retail.

After two days of debating, the dried acrylic paint was scrapped with the edge of a pallet knife to remove has much as possible from the five eight notes.  What was left, considerable, was smoothed and painted over again with yellow acrylic paint.  There just was too much disorder, that was acknowledged, but not accepted. Two days it took to just do this:
