SAJ says: I thought that too when I was finishing her up yesterday. But actually this was started before Whoorl got Ramon and I think Ramon is a classical guitar not a mandolin… not that I would know the difference or anything. Also, Whoorl wouldn’t hold her mandolin all wonkey like that.
Well CRAP. I didn’t buy it because I just drive 24 miles in 2.5 hours (it’s SNOWING… INCHES… IN TEXAS… IN MARCH). I would have snatched this up and put it in my new office and it would have inspired me daily. It’s stunning.
Dang it! That painting is EXQUISITE! I am OBSESSED with orange lately… and bluegrass music is my fave. That would have looked awesome in my “office” (read: home) with our yellow, brown and red walls (alternatively… really, they’re accent walls in separate rooms. We’re not living in a rainbow. :-) Though wouldn’t that be lovely?)
You should have auctioned that painting… Let us pay you what you’re really worth!
Now go paint something orange… so I can buy it. :-) (I missed out on the timing because I was actually perusing ORANGE tagged items on Etsy! How coincidental…)
Congrats..that’s a fast sell! If you would do a “beautiful” blonde playing the piano with some primary colors I am so all over buying it! No pressure to paint. LOL

She looks like Whoorl playing Ramon!

Oooh, I hope you sell it fast. I’m tempted to snap it up myself.

Hey, if you need gas money, I still want that painting of my dog Sydney! And, I have money this week, LOL.

Oooh.. I love it! Do you ever do kid’s stuff like airplanes/fire trucks?

You are one of the most talented people I know!

This is wonderful - and way underpriced!
You’ve got such a great eye, SAJ!

Hey. It’s gone already — I just bought it! Awesome work! (I am an artist in Austin, Texas). I love your blog! — Collin

You are selling yourself short girl, $35 is a steal for that awesome original painting!

I think you should do a series of Mandolin Girl paintings. I loved the first one so much. And it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Peace
