20" x 30" acrylic on foam canvas

“There is no top. There are always further heights to reach.”

A custom piece for a friend that was learning to fiddle and adored this guy. Here's a bit of a background on him.

"(January 20 1901 – December 10, 1987) was a Lithuanian-born American violinist. He was born in Vilnius. As a teen, he moved with his family to the United States, where his Carnegie Hall debut was rapturously received. He had a long and successful performing and recording career; after an injury to his right (bowing) arm, he focused on teaching. The New York Times called him "perhaps the greatest violinist of all time."
