"The Fiddle Maker"

ORIGINAL:  24 x 18 inches, Oil on Linen

"Another art form that I enjoy depicting in paintings is the building of handmade musical instruments.  I have painted several violin or "fiddle" maker paintings.  This is Joe Weigle working in his backyard shop in Fromberg, Montana.  It gives me great pleasure that this painting is in the permanent collection of the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana."
