Could have taken a photograph. Less time and trouble.

Bottom one is OK, but I really like the top one. Makes you feel good. Nice.

Mandolin - Double Stops -
The dots on the fingerboard are notes. The colored lines connecting the dots (notes) are "double stops (ie. the harmonic blending of the 2 notes played simultaneously). These are shown as color blends > red + blue = purple......yellow + blue = green......red + yellow = orange......white + red = pink.
Just as the notes of the mandolin (and violin) blend to the ear, here, these same notes blend in color, to the eye.
Together with the painting, there is a video in which I play the double tops on the mandolin, thus adding a video and audio feature, so you can see/hear exactly what is represented in the painting.

Just as the notes of the Violin (and mandolin) blend to the ear, here, these same notes blend in color, to the eye.
NOTE: Along with this painting, there is a VIDEO of me (Bert Emanuel) playing the Violin, and illustrating all these double stops, thus adding a video and audio feature, so you can see/hear exactly what is represented in the painting.
