Bluegrass Garden by Bert Emanuel
Four standard instruments of Bluegrass music in their typical location, under the trees, among the bushes, flowers, & grass. Acoustic instruments, needing no electric outlets to plug into.
The blue diamonds are Banjo melody notes. Brown rectangles represent guitar rythym chords. Orange pear shapes are mandolin notes. Purple lines are beats of the bass fiddle, providing the depth and foundation of the songs.

Frida Kahlo Butterfly Painting by Frida Kahlo
So feminine. So sweet. Having lived in Mexico for 3 years (Villahermosa, Tabasco), I had a quick attraction to this painting.

Mandolin - Double Stops

The dots on the fingerboard are notes. The colored lines connecting the dots (notes) are "double stops (ie. the harmonic blending of the 2 notes played simultaneously). These are shown as color blends > red + blue = purple......yellow + blue = green......red + yellow = orange......white + red = pink.
Just as the notes of the mandolin (and violin) blend to the ear, here, these same notes blend in color, to the eye.
NOTE: Along with this painting, there is a VIDEO of me (Bert Emanuel) playing the mandolin, and illustrating all these double stops, thus adding a video and audio feature, so you can see/hear exactly what is represented in the painting.
