  1. Ah... there it is ! I had blocked the old image in Firefox a while ago (slow loading on dial up) and just unblocked it.

    Looks great !

    I'll keep it around for a bit as it seems to load faster (so far).

  2. Wow, Bobby! Fantastic show! That's a lot of cellos--are they paintings of cellos or did she collect all those and paint them? Looks like she painted cellos but I can't imagine collecting that many (they're expensive!)

    Thanks for sharing that and please pass on "Bravo!" to your sister. She sure is talented.

    The cellos were all functional and were donated for this project. I'll have to ask my sister who or how the donation came about, because yes... they are rather dear in price. My sister only had her hand in one of the creations whose inspiration was from Botticelli's "Birth of Venus"

    (from Marty)... i happen to be a fan of the cello

    it has an unusual sound

    that can last for several hours

    no other instrument has that haunting sound

    I agree. I love the cello's mellow resonance. I can still vividly recall a string quartet recital I attended with Pacelbel's Canon in D being played... and although a midi recording is often lacking here's a sampling: (some midis with cello parts... click the listen icon)
    so looks like grand dad has to fork out for a fiddle [cello]

    but she has all the musical theory in place

    so i may go broke buying the thing

    but i will

    Kudos to you Marty ! Your grand-daughter is lucky indeed to have you.
