“Life imitates art.” That’s the theme for this week’s Daily Post photo challenge.
Hmmm. I thought of a great photo op for this topic but, alas, it would involve two other people who are not available today, a drive to a city park where the art is located, and getting wet in the rain… Maybe next time. Or later in the week, at least.
In the meantime, here’s my take on life imitating art imitating life. Or something like that.
It starts with a photo of my daughters playing the piano:
which I used to create this painting:

“Girls at Piano” by me.
And now my daughters are grown, and my granddaughter, while not “imitating” her mom and aunt or the painting of them, is nonetheless creating her own version of the theme:
I’m not sure how the dog fits into all this, but I’m sure that — with my granddaughter’s tutoring — he’ll be playing in no time at all.

I enjoyed your take on the theme very much.

Thank you! A bit far afield maybe, but they always say to interpret as we like. 🙂

Hi Maggie-
A very touching collection! I love this!
It’s also quite amazing to see that you and I have twin dulcimers… and… Kurtzman pianos! You were wise, though. My Kurtzman is a player piano. The idea, when my daughters were young, was practice piano lessons… then have a turn with choosing a roll. Unfortunately, they ended up liking to play with their feet more than their hands!
Happy Valentines ❤

I’m sure my daughters would have preferred that, too. Do you play the dulcimer? Mine, unfortunately, spends most of its time as a wall hanging.

My dulcimer has a similar fate… it’s a decoration atop the bookcase in our library space. When I was teaching, it would go to class with me when we were learning about the Oregon Trail.

Kind of looks like he’s saying, “Save me!” But it also kind of looks like my granddaughter might be sitting on his tail…
