The origianl painting is in acrylic on Canvas / The original was sold. “He drew a keyboard on the wall / And played it for friends / Bud Powell was a legend” Bud powell was an Amelican jazz pianist. / He was a child prodigy. He had a firm grounding in the classics before he began to play jazz. / During a murky encounter with Philadelphia police in 1945, Powell was beaten repeatedly over the head. His injuries seem to have intensified his mental problems. He spent time in and out of institutions. He sometimes stopped playing for minutes at a time to stare into the audience. / He died at forty-two…. Bud Powell Trio All the things You are
Recently we did a test shoot for two really funny and crazy guys who also happen to make music together, Jase and Tom after their manager aeris saw my stuff on RedBubble and decided I am shit hot at what I do. (I’m working on the modesty bit, I swear.) Anyway they really really didn’t want to do a photo shoot in a smelly, public, and damp mens’ toilet so naturally I nagged at them until they relented. Then the first thing their manager said upon viewing this image was “That one’s for RedBubble!” So here it is.
I love the piano. It is the one instrument that when i sit down to play, it seems that whatever else is going on in my world just falls away and the music and it’s beauty take over. I love it!!!

I took twenty something shots to get this to work. Then I applied three plugins and then added the music notes layer by layer. I hope you like it as it took me a couple of hours to do this. Thank you for checking out my new work. Troy W. Smith

Everyone has seen the paintings of the roses on a piano keyboard symbolizing romance, etc… But, does this really motivate a child to practice. I don’t think so. Driven by humor, this piece was originally going to be titled “I thought I told you to practice.” After running the idea past a friend of mine, he suggested calling it “Chopstix.” Although, he wanted me to add a couple severed fingers to the piece which is not really my style. I opted to leave the fingers out of the painting despite his insistence. The piece is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The interaction of this paint and paper cause some fantastic granulation effects. It’s original size is 14” x 10”. 5th Place Finisher in On The Edge challenge. / 4th Place Finisher in Sharp & Dangerous Metals challenge. / Featured in Realist Traditional Art group in August 2009. /
