Thanks so much for your comments. I did paint one of the necks, but personally did not like the feel of it as I played...and for me it's so important that the sound and playability not be altered when I paint a uke. I also think of the wear on a uke as it is played. Since I thin down the paints so much, the textures are minimum..in fact some of the layers and textures are illusions created with overlays and shadows. (I do love textures though, in my paintings, as they are often very highly layered and textured.)Those look fantastic, Denise! I especially like the blue one. Did you consider painting the necks as well? I realize that it would probably affect the feel and playability of the uke, but I think it would look pretty sharp. Obviously it would have to be a very smooth finish. It appears in one of your photos of the blue one's headstock that there is a fair amount of texture to the paint.
Very nice work. I like!
Beautiful beautiful work!!! I love your choice of color!!!! Keep it up- I look forward to seeing more!!!!
I love it! You took a boring looking instrument and made it a piece of art! Cool!
