Chromatic Accordionist

Piece description from the artist

A few years ago on a trip to Spain, I came upon an old accordionist in the ancient section of Madrid, the sound echoed sweetly off of the brick street and walls. Ten years ago, my Father gave me his old accordion. I decided to pose with my Father’s chromatic accordion and combine these two memories to make this painting. The theme of the work is Chromatic. Chromatic is defined as relating to or being highly colored. As a musician, I also know that chromatic is also a twelve note scale. I am playfully incorporating these definitions together in this painting.
