Piano Update June 28th

Counting down, I actually have more of this done than I show here, and I do only have two, yes, two days left.

Oh, Angela, I'm working like CRAZY, to finish this. I can hardly wait myself to see this all together.

The top photo is the piano assembled. The photo on the bottom left is in my studio assembled on a table. The last two photos are the sides of the piece. I actually put paint on the sides a bit today. 

Oh, Monday, Tuesday, one of those two days I will give you the full view.

Okay, gotta go back to work.

Piano June 9th

Piano pieces June 9th

Piano update. Today, I put more gesso and paint on the three pieces I have in my studio. Once I get the color established on the pieces I have here, I'll put them on the piano and finish the job.

Before I go for now, I going to put the link to the "Go Ahead & Play" project here. This is why I'm painting a piano.

More later...   : )

"Wednesday the Pieces Come Together"

Here are the three pieces back in their respective places. This is when I stood back and thought "Hmm..." 



I put myself on the floor and I looked at this piano for awhile and this is what I came up with.


Then I stood up and looked some more, and drew some more.
Who is more surprised, you, or me?


This allowed me to know my piano a little more. Now I'm curious as to when this piano was born.

Big day Wednesday. While cleaning and wet sanding this little gem, I had to keep telling myself, "You're painting a piano, not restoring it." I may have gotten carried away cleaning, oh well, it made me feel better.

I'll touch back later, like maybe I should tell you why I'm painting this piano.

Piano Project

Sketch on pieces in my studio.

Before photo of my piano.

Piano with large panels removed.

Have you ever painted on a piano before? This will be a first for me.
I sanded and sketched on the big three pieces faux assembled in my studio.
Wednesday I'll get a chance to look at the pieces back on the piano.

More later,
