A quick sketch with charcoal of the Dutchman André Rieu. He is a conductor who travels all over the world with his big orchester and solists playing the most beautiful music. On their repetoir there is is classic, beautiful, romantic music. You can if you will listen to him in YouTube of cause. He plays violin too.
Your sketch is right on and you did it with Charcoal. Awesome! I have all his music cds and videos. Lovely music.

DeleteNot to forget your granddaughter either! I have listened Rommy and Tjeerd. they sing good and are glad and good entertainer, tempting to move and dance. They seem to be positiv persons. Nice!
DeleteA lovely, sensitive portrait Sirkka and it works so well in the monochrome charcoal. I have heard of Rieu, but not bought his CD, but I will listen on You Tube and then maybe buy one.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jez! I am glad you like the portrait of Rieu. I listen to him on YouTube too, I have long lists of musicians who I listen to now and then.
DeleteSirakka here is my Granddaughter playing and singing . I have know idea where she is playing at. She sings so many places. I cannot keep track of her.
ReplyDeletewww.youtube.com/watch?v=D0uQ0Z2JjjA I guess you will have to just copy and paste it to see her on Youtube. She is in University to be a school teacher so she does here and there singing and playing when she can but now she is working in summer . She is a busy young lady. Her name is Melissa Timgren.
She seems to be very buzy. They are so lovely and talented sister and brother! Wow! I have listened to them both and even saved on my music lists, so I dont loose them. I am sure you are so proud of them!
DeleteShe is singing at home with her brother playing a guitar.
