This is a lot of fun. It has a closed composition, little depth, but is full of interesting figures and evocative poses. I'm a bit fan of the bagpipe and accodion. Folk music and dancing are some of my shared passions with my wife of 30 years. We have some friends in Belgium with their own orchestra and this could be them, too. Thanks for sharing.
Artist Reply: I painted that picture mainly because I met the piper in Dick Mack's pub and he had one of my cards. Thanks for the good word. I looked up that Belgian painter but couldn't get a good large image to examine. Thanks again.
So fantastic, Frank! All of this composition is raging with activity and festivity.....except for (whispers) the one on the floor passed out! Wonderful artwork!!
Artist Reply: Thanks Izabella, and I was intrigued by your pictures. I like that kind of art because it makes me think. But thinking hurts my old brain so I paint as I do.
Frank.
