the fiddler of dooney Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 I know its been a long time since I needed your help to find the word violin in as many different languages as possible for my artworks. Again I want to thank all of you for you help. I finished the picture some month ago, but I had not the possibility to put it on a website. But finally, after month, I did it, here is the adress where you can see the picture that would not exist without your help: http://www.iss-home.de/bild thanks again .

mrsdigger Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 I love the picture! Have you considered having poster size prints made of it? I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlefaddle Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Dooney,would you consider allowing the fingerboard to use your art as promotion for it's charity project, if the opportunity arises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeH Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Dooney, I agree with FiddleFaddle. This would make an absolutely magnificent promotion for the Maestronet Violin. It is by far the most appropriate design anyone could come up with. Truly inspired. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandilion Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 You did a wonderful job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainyann Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with us. I, too, think it would go wonderfully with the violin project some of the Fingerboarders are doing. It would be good publicity for you also. Nice work!

Oldbear Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Wow, Dooney! If think somehow you've managed to translate the violin's tone color into visual color! The romance, mystique, and beauty all seem to be there. I'm saving it to my hard drive to use as my Windows Desktop Wallpaper for awhile. Hope you don't mind!

Jane Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 That's beautiful. I too will be using it as wallpaper. Thanks for sharing it with us. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fiddler of dooney Posted November 18, 2000 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Wow, I didn´t think that you love it that much. Of course you can use it for whatever you want and if you´d like to have a poster of it, I think I can arrange this somehow. When I made this on my computer I built it with a 300 dpi resolution so it will be printable without any difference in quality. If this can help you to promote a charity-projekt, I will be proud of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 What a wonderful peice of artwork!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzanneL Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 WORTH the wait! Wow, very dramatic. Very beautiful! Is that you in the corner? This looks better than any of the posters in the Ravinia and Chicago Symphony gift shops. I, too, would like a 300 dpi copy. You could sell big glossy posters.

Lydia Leong Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 You need to make a poster! The only oddity is the player in the corner, who looks like he's got the hands swapped? (bow in left hand, violin in right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fine Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 Wow! What software are you using? Looks like Adobe Photoshop to me... you really have a mastery of whatever software it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fiddler of dooney Posted November 21, 2000 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 yep, it was Photoshop 5.5 to Lydia: you´re right, call it an oddity. When I made this picture, I didn´t knew that people would like it so much, so I made it just for fun and included a picture of myself in it. It may be not the best picture of someone playing violin, but I wanted to use only photos that I made, so I would have no problems with any copyrights. I wanted to include a picture of someone who is not looking like a "typical" violin-player to show that violin-playing can be a link between different people. If I had the time I would make more pictures of other players. Maybe I should use a picture of me playing e-violin instead of this, so it shows more of the possibilitys of a violin. (I´m not playing the violin this way, but I needed to turn the picture so it fits in the upper left corner.)
