Although the portraits are lovely, they give me a cold feeling as opposed to the warmth of the antique music books which one feels compelled to read with reflection of those good old days--Joplin, for instance. I love Joplin and ragtime! The music books complement the music theme.<br />The portraits will be better placed where they are the focal point--not to distract from the piano which deserves the focal point. And that's my opinion...GrammaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278827616744890761.post-63373042357342829082010-06-07T14:03:12.801-07:002010-06-07T14:03:12.801-07:00Oh my goodness!

LOVE that you had the guts to paint a piano! It went from grandma to gimme! And personally, I love the juxtaposition of the old books against the crisp piano.

I've been considering a piano for my 2 year old some day, as she seems so inclined, but was hesitant for the eyesore factor (considering, I'm, um, frugal, and would most likely get a similar, used piano).

You've inspired me to start the search for an old piano! :) I like the look of the antique music books, but the silouhette portraits are more personal:) You could also pull out some of your favorite sheets of music and have them framed for over the piano, or used as a matting for pictures over the piano. Great work!! :) I invite you over to my blog...
