"The Violinist" By Irit


This is for Edward , his theme is music. I am a travel agent working with many rock/pop stars.Owen is one of them and I love his music.

Michael James Owen Pallett  is a composer, violinist, and singer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and winner of the inaugural Polaris Music Prize.

Pallett is best known as the principal member of the band Owen Pallett (formerly "Final Fantasy") which is essentially a solo project.

This is oil and I wish I had more time to work on it.

  9. The pose is in rhythm itself! I think you have made the point with this piece and it won't need more work. Great!

  11. Everyone, be *sure* to click on this one for a larger view! Irit, this is one of my top faves ever of yours. You have really conveyed his being transported emotionally with his music (the lifted eyebrow is perfect) and the circular movement in the composition along with that GORgeous spread of trees in the background... I am transported right along with him and I can imagine the violin sounds. I like his Gumby-like body, too as it goes well with the lyrical feeling of the musical theme. Exceptional work!

  12. A side note, Irit. I love the painting, but... the only way we can have whirled peas is to stop the violins.

  14. Irit, you really portrayed him "feeling the music" beautifully. I like the way his figure fills the page. Well done.
