3 Violins






Painting on these beautiful instruments is intimidating and exhilarating!
The violin "Lady White Snake" was painted and auctioned off to raise funds for the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony's trip to China!
The "Iron Maiden" violin was painted and auctioned off the raise funds for the Washington County Symphony Orchestra. As was the 3rd violin titled: "Audience of Angels".

  1. Eileen, These violins are beautiful! Do you get them unfinished or are they already stained and varnished when you get them? What type of paint do you use . . . essentially, what's your process?
