Moonlight Sonata

"Resting Cello" - oil on canvas, 24 X 18 in

Sold


Sometimes I get struck by 'artist's block'. I just simply can't figure out what to paint. Then I lie down, turn on the online radio and tune to my favorite station - KDFC (the classical music station from San Francisco). Moonlight Sonata was filling my studio. And soon I found myself painting ... "Resting Cello".

    Beautiful, Peter. As lyrical as the song. Love the angled cello and counter-pointed bow and the structure of your composition.

    I think you handled the "artist's block" quite well! This one is very nice, Peter. It looks as if the cellist took a break for a moment and will be right back.

    Your cello is so convincing... I have found them difficult to draw. You've created a very nice scene.
