Yes, it's spring here and the black flies are merrily biting , need a couple of really hot days to kill the little devils off. I have been working in the gardens but it is slow going as I can only do it for about 5 min. then have to stop to get my breath back . Old age isn't for the weak is it

Lute players... galore! Looks as if Rombout's player is getting a bit fustrated, keeps tuning his lute to match
the flawless playing of Caravaggio's. All nicely done dear friend.....
Take care,
Steve

Give you a hint friend.....

OK Cap'n Mac Jimi Hendrix With out the Flash yeah I think its better ??

Wanted to focus on his image, I may do one with him playing later.....
As for what came first...
I think it was the 'Oud' then the 'Lute' then came the creation of the guitar in Malaga, Spain....Very interesting information on the evolution of the Guitar that we have today......
Take care friend,
Steve

Excellent sketching Mr Ploos! Looks like the bus wasn't jiggling and bouncing too much. Good shock absorbers and that's a blessing for bus sketchers.

Your painting looks just like Jimi Hendrix in full performance regalia he was known for around the Monterey Pop Festival time! One thing he did was set his guitar on fire. I should caution you where this fellow you painted might take that inspiration and start smashing up his his lute at the end of the sitting.

'Course you'll have to make the skin a wee bit darker for the full Hendrix effect.

No, just kidding. It looks great and to my eye has a little of a Vermeer kind of look, especially in the table cloth. Great works of late. Seriously.


Check out at 1:00 minute into it and you'll see the lighting up his guitar.
