Sometimes a friend and I take a photo or a similar subject and we each paint our rendition of that.
She chose a tuba photo she had taken some years ago at a local fair. The local high school marching band had just performed and the kids had laid down their instruments; this tuba caught her eye.
She has long since painted her rendition of this tuba. I kept procrastinating. I note that I scanned the photo into my computer in 2012! Then, this past May (2014) I finally printed it off and began my drawing for this painting.
I decided I wanted some music to go along with the tuba, so I did an internet search and came up with this sheet music, which I then enlarged.
It's been so long since I drew this out - it has been sitting all this time underneath a pile of other semi-completed paintings, just waiting to be painted! So, I'm not sure, but I think that I enlarged the tuba photo and put it onto the paper, then added the music around that.

Love the addition of the sheet music - this is going to be awesome!! Sometimes you have to wait for the mood to strike and the feeling that you can do the painting justice now :) Maybe S will paint another one, too?
Dear Deb - this looks like it is going to be a great painting. Will be looking forward to this one unfolding. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Rhonda, that's right, gotta be in the right mood, for sure.
Thanks Debbie.
