Description Colored Pencil
14 x 11"
1974

At a friend's house in '74 his violin was on the carpet. I took out my colored pencils and worked about an hour on this. Not paying attention to the actual color of the violin I worked pretty fast. This is one of the first color attempts I made, having decided to stay with the pencil until I mastered drawing first. I even signed it Chuck Tracy as that's what I was used to: my father had the same first and middle name so my parents and siblings always called me "Chuck". See [link]

My friend owns it. I asked him to send me a file of it and this is the best he can do. He's got a PhD in mathematics from Princeton in 1972, but doesn't know how to scan. I've just re-discovered this. Will see if I can guide him via email on scanning and replace this with a larger file.

Wow, this is beautiful! Especially the patterns in the shadow; it really makes the drawing original. Really good for one of your first colouring pencil attempts

High praise indeed, Emma. I succeeded in a better attempt of the violin much later in watercolor here: [link]

I love this..Of course, I love the violin. It was probably that cherry wood color of most of the violins I have seen. I would have guessed this to be acrylics..color pencil was a surprise. The violin has so many beautiful details, it makes a perfect subject. Simply Beautiful!

Hope my reason for not attempting color is helpful. Take your time.
