This reminds me of every time I've drawn a guitar in an illustration and how much I feel it kills the image if the instrument doesn't look right. With that said...beautiful work!
Not sure what unhappy accidents you are referring to - its a nice mix of controlled painting and letting the paint do its thing. The violin also has great personality.
maurico - yeah... I think the old masters used lutes and violins in their paintings to show off because they are particularly difficult. I can't remember where I read that though.
Wren, I lost some control there with the shadow area, but I guess it doesn't bother me anymore. :D Sometimes it takes a a few day to like a painting, after you've stepped away from it for a while. :D
Violins are difficult to draw, too. They have very distinct and subtle curves like no other object, kinda like drawing Charlie Brown's head; draw it wrong and it doesn't look like him. Well, it's true.

I really liked this illustration. :D
Une peinture magnifique, car il n'est pas simple de dessiner un violon et vous lui avez apporté une âme...

It is! Violin is not an easy instrument to play. However, it has a beautiful sound. Enjoy your painting!!!!
