violin painting stage 1

i sat out on my balcony this evening and spent an hour listening to violin music and sanding....

this is a 3/4 violin made in germany between 1891 and WWII. it is, i think, boxwood with a maple back and rosewood fingerboard. it is not worth saving as a violin -- don't worry, i discussed this with a professional -- so i am preparing it as the base for a painting. i think i have at least another hour of sanding to go.
