So I woke up today thinking it was Wednesday. To my dismay, it's only Tuesday. A crushing blow to my evening Outlook. I will have wait another day before I get watch my favorite TV show. But on the bright side it means I will actually get some things done this evening rather than structuring my time around the tube. (Actually TV's don't have tubes anymore.....:D)
I have to call the cable company to fix the TV in my bedroom and the plumbers to fix the pipe that blew out because Louisiana is experiencing an Ice Age. I will have the time to work on my latest project.
The community orchestra has asked me to paint a violin. They also asked a close friend of mine to one. And so the question is, what do I do to make this the most awesomest amazing ingenious spectacle ever to play a note!!
I decided to take a few pages from history and see where that takes me. And so I have begun the task of educating myself on everything orchestra, violin, related useless knowledge and example. The first thing I did is google search images of painted violins. I want mine to be original so I need to know what has already been done. It has to be unique, elegant and reflect a little piece is my love of history. I have already tiger striped the edges because the very first well-known violins were constructed from a type of wood that resembled a tigers coat. I discovered that Albert Einstien played the violin, so this will be incorporated. I know what the layout of an orchestral floor is, so this will be incorporated.
At the end of the day, it looks like rather than accomplishing any physical artwork this evening, I will curl up with my sketchbook, google, and a full cup of coffee. Sounds like heaven to me. I wonder what I will learn tonight!
