Background Music - Original Oil Painting by George De Chiara

Background Music
7x5 inches
Oil on Canvas Panel

 I've been busy this last week working on commission paintings that are needed for Christmas. This is one of them. I've been lucky with this commission because they were able to supply me with some items they wanted to include in the painting. In fact, almost everything in this still life is from them, the horse statue, the jewelry, and the request to use sheet music. I have to admit I don't think I would have ever though to put these things together for a painting on my own. Doing these commissioned still life paintings are a great stretch for the creative muscles. It must have taken me over 2 hours to come up with something that worked, especially for this small size (7x5). 

 I must thank my lovely wife for the coming up with the name for this one. I was really stumped on until she suggested background music as a title. I liked it because of the sentimental meaning to most of the objects in the painting.
