The art work is refreshing and I hope that it represents a new format for the future. How nice it would be to give cajun artist as well as others who paint cajun scenes showing instruments, back yard jam sessions, dance hall scenes etc.

I agree, the accordion art currently on the main page is great.

In general, I would suggest that the photo/art on the main page get changed a little more frequently.

I'd change the picture on a more regular basis if people would submit photos and art work for me to use!

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the picture above is not a painting, rather a computer smoothing of a picture to remove most of the color gradations. correct? Still is a great picture regardless of the technique used.

Yeah, it's a photo with a Photoshop filter applied. But it's still cool to see art for a change of pace.

I mean, check out this art will ya? It speaks to me. It says... "Me, I'm an accordion. My owner left me on this table while he went to the store for more beer. So I will wait here patiently until my owner returns... with the beer. I look outside this old window, waiting for my owner... and the beer. The birds and squirrels taunt me as I wait... patiently... you know... for the owner/beer thing. I hate those stupid birds and squirrels. And that dog next door. I wish my owner would accidently on purposely hit it on his return home with the beer. The beer! Ah yes, a good excuse to wait... and wait... patiently."

See that's what art does for me. I love art. I live for art. I am art. And my accordions love art... and beer.

Hey ! My accordions like beer too. They play much better with a few beers.
