SOLD!

  

Last night I attended the Painted Violins auction, an event benefiting the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra's education programs for children.  I was happy to be among the 27 artists to donate a painted violin for the cause.  I posted about the project here and here.

The evening began with each violin being carried down the runway by models in Oscar de la Renta fashions.  Next came the fun and excitement of the live auction which raised many thousands of dollars, all of which will be used to fund the children's programs.  Thank you Michelle for purchasing my violin!  I'm honored.

Painted Violins 2011 - Part 2

Here is the back of my painted violin, inspired by Mozart's Horn Concerto #4.   One of the Bass Hall angels has traded her trumpet for a french horn to sound the hunting call.

Below are the photos I used for reference:  Bass Hall angels, and musician model -- thanks Karen!
