Oil on Canvas (10 x 12 inches)
Once upon a time - many years ago, I played the flute … a
little. I took lessons for a couple of
years and really enjoyed every minute of it, but as years went by the lessons and the flute were put
away and sadly I barely remember any of what I learned back then. But I still have the flute and in recent
weeks decided if I can’t play it anymore I can at least paint it. I loved capturing the reflected lights as well as all the interesting details. In reality the flute is actually a more common silver plate, but I decided
to play around with the colours and painted it in gold tones to contrast nicely against the blue
background.

This is luscious, Margaret. All those wonderful turns and twirls of reflected planes are beautifully celebrated! Gosh, you're good!
I also had a passing flirtation with the flute years ago, but ended up drifting away as you did. Hubby is an accomplished musician and I'd thought it would be nice to experience music as he did. Unfortunately my dedication to practice was short lived.
