This particular portrait is a little peculiar. The lady didn't want to look at the camera because she thought it should have been her husband on the picture. He was the piano player but he passed away around 10 months ago. It felt a little strange.

You can't actually see the soundboard. What we see is the plate. This piano was exposed to a fire. The bass strings were replaced, but the plate was never taken out for refinishing. The lady is quite attached to her piano even with it's age and condition.

Thanks for the kind comments Pete. I forgot to say so earlier in my previous response. You might also have noticed that most of the picture has been treated with a paintbrush effect form CS5. I then mask the person's face and remove the paint effect. I think in this case this might have contributed to the feel of the plate and strings area.

That piano looks like one I destroyed about a year and half ago trying to get it out of my basement. It went down the stairs but just could not make the turn going up to the garage. It was an old player with the player parts removed before I got it.
