Russell Gallery Artist- Violins June 12, 2014

Violins of Plymouth





June 12, 2014, was the occasion for presenting violins and violas (and many other art works)  to the jury at the Plymouth Center for the Arts. Violins of Plymouth delivered three violas and two violins to be considered for the inclusion of Thomas Shaughnessy as a "Russell Gallery" artist!




Instruments were carefully selected to illustrate capabilities and available styles.



 Two violas in the manner of Gasparo da Salo, were chosen to be considered.










A large viola reproducing the 1690 Antonio Stradivarius was also included.






Two violins per Antonio Stradivarius completed the grouping.



A most productive and rewarding day! The judges approved these fine instruments. Henceforth, Violins of Plymouth will regularly exhibit these fine instruments at most/all of the exhibits at the Plymouth Center for the Arts "Russell Gallery",on North Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Thomas Shaughnessy's  biography will be included in the "Artist's bio book".
