A Painting A Day

Things have been really hectic lately, and I was about to explode from stress yesterday... so I picked up a canvas and just whipped this up. I painted in a frenzy! Not even thinking about what I was doing.  This is the result. I had an old violin in the closet that I pulled out.  I wasn't interested in the details, I was more interested in creating the illusion of woodgrain, and I wanted to make deep haunting shadows.

The funny thing is, I was proud to get something accomplished so I showed it to my husband and he said, "That will be really nice when you finish it." Duh! I thought it WAS finished! LOL
