Flourescent Saxophone

This is a saxophone in acrylic flourescent on stretched canvas 16x20 inches. (the photograph itself is kinda lame.) I painted it in part because I was working in a music store at the time learning how to repair saxophones and other horns. The guys I worked with were avid jazz fans and both of them played saxophones a lot better than I ever did. Consequently, I heard a lot of horn music while I worked there. When they found that I played basses and guitars, they put me charge of tuning and setting up the instruments, which is how I came start playing mandolin in earnest. In an unintended sense, this painting is kind of a tribute to them and their generally enjoyable company.
