In an alleyway in Lucca, Italy sat this man, and his dog…..playing his heart out for all passersby with the hope that either his music, or his simpleofferings of stock Italy images, or the charm of his pet would make his day…..earn an offering.

This old button accordion belonged to my wife’s Great-Grandmother who apparently got it when she was a little girl. I have simplified it and left off a lot of the graphics but have tried to loosely interpret the age of the instrument. It is painted with a combination of Winsor and Newton, Daniel Smith, and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The texture of the cold-pressed Arches paper allows this particular type of large grained single pigment paint to granulate and collect in very interesting and unusual ways. The original of this piece has been sold but its original size was 14” x 10”. It belongs in the private collection of the accordion player for the Celtic/Rock/Punk band The Mighty Regis. 4th Place Finisher in Old Time Music and Instr… challenge. /

I have been wanting to add another melodeon to my musical instrument series since my first one has been so popular. This particular instrument belongs in the collection of Dan Possumato who is a professional button accordion player specializing in the traditional music and songs of Ireland. I painted this with a combination of Daniel Smith Primatek and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. These single pigment paints in conjunction with the coarse grained paper really help to add textures and interest to the piece. The original is 14”x10.25” in size. /
Another button accordion from the collection of Dan Possumato, this piece marks the third in the series of melodeons I have been working on. This one deviates slightly in that it incorporates some slightly more impressionistic elements than the two previous pieces. This particular brand is quite unique in that it can sometimes take up to two years from placing an order to receive the instrument. My version is painted with Daniel Smith Primatek and Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. This particular combination of paints and paper results in very interesting textural elements that are very unique. The Arches paper has a particular coarseness that traps the large pigmented paint. The original measures 14”x10.25” in size and reproductions of the piece are available as well. Featured in Art Up Close group in October 2009. /
