Red-Haired Fiddler

7"x5" pastel on paper, matted & framed to 12"x10"

This painting was done from a sketch I did while living back in San Diego. Before I could play fiddle well enough to join in an open session (traditional Irish music) , I'd sit at the pub and listen, and sketch - usually the fiddlers. Now it's been years since I have been in a pub to sit and sketch- if there's music, I want to play tunes! My sketch books are valuable sources of ideas for me now!
