7″X5″ Oil on panel

I knew this was a mistake about three minutes after I started it, not because of the difficult perspective (although it was), but because of the panel I was using. It had been previously tinted with some leftover paint. I often do this but this time the paint I had used was far too oily so the surface was quite slick.

With a house full of instruments it was only a matter of time before I was driven to paint one. J. has several ukuleles, although not as many as guitars!
