– Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Copyright Beth Parker Art 2012
Saturday was a wonderful day! I happened to be hanging out at Our Favorite Place, a gallery where I have paintings, when this painting sold! Yay!!!
I was commissioned to paint this one, then before I even started it, the lady fell into an unexpected financial bind and I let her out of the commitment. I decided to paint it anyway, to stretch my wings and paint large. It’s from a photo of a little pink house in Barbados. I have always loved it and am tickled that it is now loved by someone new. I feel very blessed!
About Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the Russian classical composer best known for the Nutcracker and Swan Lake
ballets, was renowned for his passionate melodies and for bringing
Western music into the Russian tradition. He was born in Kamsko-Votkinsk
in 1840. He taught music until a widow offered her financial patronage,
then retired to the country to compose full time. He never met his
benefactor. He died in 1893, just after the first performance of his
Sixth Symphony, the “Pathétique.”
