I’ve had this idea for awhile of doing a new series of paintings of musical instruments.  Incubated with that for a couple of months, then thought AHA, I’ll collage concerto music and paint atop that.  So away I went.  This whimsical cello is painted on top of Elgar’s famous Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85.  Listen to Yo-Yo Ma play this piece here at YouTube.com. BRILLIANT!
