A fun bunch of artists met in Old Washington for a day of still life painting.  The theme was musical instruments.  We had a banjo, mandolin and guitar as models.

  7. thanks mom! Yes, it is the new press. I don’t want to use copyrighted music, so my choices are limited. Any chance you might record some piano or violin songs for me to use?
