"Painted Violins" for the Harrisburg Symphony

The "Painted Violins" is a fundraising project for the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra. Twelve violins painted by Central Pennsylvania artists will be auctioned off on April 3 to benefit the organization.



As a selected artist, I chose to represent the composition "Carnival of the Animals" by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

The Challenge:
To fit 14 movements on the small violin:
*March of the Lion
*Hens and Roosters
*Wild Asses
*Tortoises
*The Elephant
*Kangaroos
*Aquarium
*Characters with Long Ears
*The Cuckoo
*Aviary
*Pianists
*Fossils
*The Swan
*Finale
