SOLD: The Harpist

The Harpist
Oil on Canvas
16" x 20"
SOLD
Prints available on Fine Art America

Back in my abstract college painting days, I depicted the sound of music with color and shape often. 

I have always envisioned harp notes as golden. 

The piano is blue. 

Drums are green (well, sometimes black.) 

And my instrument, the fiddle, is red.

Time has laid his hand
Upon my heart gently, not smiting it,
But as a harper lays his open palm
Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When this painting sold from the Art In Hand Gallery I got to talk to the buyers.  Apparently they first told each other "I love you" on the La Jolla cliffs many years ago.  How sweet is that!

Life has loveliness to sell,

all beautiful and splendid things,

blue waves whitened on a cliff,

soaring fire that sways and sings,

and children's faces looking up,

holding wonder like a cup. 

-Sara Teasdale

I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows,

infinite vehicles to transport us into the light.

There are some people who live in a dream world,

and there are some that face reality;

and then there are those that turn one into the other.
