Hi Jill, Thank You for the comments, It's a fun technique to try.

Thank You Mike, I do appreciate your comments my Friend!

Thanks Plangereis! Now to find interesting subjects to paint! l..o.l

Thank You Lindyanna! I love Renaissance Music, but I'm a little more Bluegrass oriented, I enjoy the Mandolin and Banjo as well. I enjoyed your comments on my Picture as well!

Thanks Jim, You'll see how easy it is, but It takes time and experimentation to get the effect right!

An absolutely beautiful photograph Michael, if I could take a picture like that I would be over the moon, terrific work.

It looks perfect to me. I have never heard of light painting but I definitely love the results you got.

I used a technique called still life Light Painting

A perfect example of experiential learning, and of course the results are excellent but will undoubtedly get better as you capture more images, I like it Michael, I also like that own and presumably play a mandolin, thats the artist in you

Thanks Beach, I appreciate you stopping by to check it out. And yes, I do play the Mandolin, I actually play a larger one most of the time, it's an Octave Mandolin, My fingers have more room to work. l.o.l a Mando frettboard is kind of small for my fat fingers. l.o.l
