My latest art project

I've recently been inspired by the beauty of one of the most popular, and influential instruments of all time: the guitar. A friend of mine bought me three 16x20 canvases for Christmas in a secret Santa exchange. My immediate thought for their use would be to make a triptych. I went through a few other ideas before finally deciding to make them into part of the neck of an acoustic guitar. I'm attaching various sizes of wooden dowels to the canvases to look like strings. Here is the basic concept so far:


I haven't finished painting the canvases, and I haven't painted the dowels yet to look like guitar strings. But I'm already very excited about the final result. :-)
