Cello



I have, for many years, been a fan of the cello.  No matter what genre of music, if there is a cello, I at the very least appreciate it.  A long time ago, another life and another town, I considered teaching myself how to play.  I had visions of myself going down to Cathedral Square park in Milwaukee (where I lived at the time) and playing there while passersby tossed money in my open cello case.

I purchased a student model cello.  I plinked and plucked and tried to make some notes.  I was deteremined that I would practice every day. 

But I never got to it.  I never acquired the discipline to play every day.  And there were other things going on in my life that were impediments.

But I don't regret not having learned.  I no longer have the time or energy for regret.

This hand-pulled linocut print measures 6 x 9, is handcolored with watercolor.  Total print size is 9 x 12.  It is available for purchase at my Etsy Shop or you can click the button below.
