Andrea Lauren Printmaking Cat-tet Linocut

Another linocut in my series of 'Musical Tales'.  This quartet inspired by a vintage photograph of a very dapper string quartet.  If anyone out there is familiar with playing in a music group, there are many interpersonal as well as musical dramas to enjoy in chamber music or garage bands.  The string quartet is one of my favorite ensembles as it offers the best of unity of tonal quality and unique individuality in the same musical package.  Anyway, it was fun to carve and imagine this cat-tet's arguments and successes as a string quartet.

Prints available in my shop.

Violin

A companion piece for yesterday's 'Piano' design.  In my time teaching classroom music I would often play violin.  The instrument is incredibly beautiful when played correctly, but I could not say that was the case when it was under my chin. Available in my shop as an 8.5 x 11 poster and three print sizes on Society6.

The Turtle Island String Quartet has been around for some time now and they just keep sounding great even with new members. Here's their new take on Coltrane's version of 'My Favorite Things.'
