Thanks, Carol! Yes, photo realism or at least high definition realism is a goal. The dry branch is a dollar plant or money plant. It dries in coin-like seed-pods.
I have a family of musicians, pretty much all playing violin, My son repairs them and when he sees this he will want to fix the crack, andre-string it. Beautiful painting! It speaks!

another beautiful painting. I like the leaves (?) or flowers(?) you’ve put in. I think I’ve seen them, but don’t remember what they are called.
Your work is getting so photo realistic. Is this the style you enjoy the most?

I have to paint this baby violin again, it looks like. I am getting a very nice feedback on it! Thanks. John!
