Raining out...in the studio

 How small this violin looks up next to my hand... I guess I should look up the different size to understand the surface I'm working on but hell...no time for that got to get sanding.  I'm wanting to break up the clear varnish surface so I can change the color.  Before the violins I made stayed with the wood grain but these three I'm switching and stepping this up a bit.

First coat of gesso in on and second one soon and then time to let it dry good. Then it's time to say some prayers and noodle about my inspiration..

Some inspiration came this morning and now I have to put a bit of move on this and see what comes of it.
