Wow, that first one is interesting, he had a way of making the bow for the violin and the flute look so sharp! They really stand out. All of his paintings are beautiful in an old world way. I like that.
Yes, exactly, in an old world way. Perfect description.
Love these. I will look into his work more. Thanks!
So glad you connected with these, such an interesting painter. Thanks for saying!
