Description
This old button accordion belonged to my wife's Great-Grandmother who apparently got it when she was a little girl. I have simplified it and left off a lot of the graphics but have tried to loosely interpret the age of the instrument. It is painted with a combination of Winsor and Newton, Daniel Smith, and 18th century reproduction watercolor paints on Arches 140# paper.
The original has been sold and is owned by the accordion player for the Celtic rock band, "The Mighty Regis."

“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.” Congratulations on your recent sale of an amazing work!
Eunice Olson
nice...crisp, clean with a simple (well, maybe not so simple) subject. I really like this.
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Eunice! This small accordion series was a lot of fun. One of them ended up on the album cover of a traditional Irish folk album by Dan Possumato while this particular one is owned by the accordion player for the Celtic rock band "The Mighty Regis." These have been popular pieces for me. Fun stuff!

I particularly love all your musical instruments. This accordian is the centerpiece in Cajun music down here in Louisiana! Thank you for all your comments. You are also talented in choosing words to express yourself! Thanks

All right Ken... it's no surprise that your watercolors sell so well. Each piece isn't just a purchase but an investment in a masterpiece. Two thumbs up to the purchaser and congratulations to you Ken. Superb watercolor.

Great art work. Love it. Would you like to take a look at my paintings? I have done a conceptual painting on obama.

I like your composition for this piece Ken, very well thought out. Superb work my friend! . ..........Joe

Yes, very nice piece. Nothing "stunning" in the piece, yet it's simplicity and simple rendering makes it "stunning". Balanced, interesting composition. I guess in a European, Old World sort of way, the small hand-accordion that Stromboli uses in Walt Disney's "Pinocchio", is a 'button accordion'.
