"Rock and Roll" 7"x 5" oil on "Gessobord" c. 2012 |
I am always on the hunt for any sculptures to inspire a painting here in Vienna. Sometimes an idea is obvious, often it doesn't occur to me until much later when I am looking at the photos on my computer.

Lady with a lyre, my inspiration. |
This last subject falls exactly into that category. Jeff actually pointed out "that great light" that was on those sculptures, and so I got off the tram and took a few photos, not really feeling particularly inspired other than by the lovely lighting.
I had planned to post the finished painting today, but a miserable cold kept me completely down for the last four days! Catching a cold in the summer should be illegal. I decided to at least give you the photo of the inspiration. I had an idea to give this musician an update. Hopefully, I will be able to show it to you next week.
