A Triumph Of Hope Over Experience

Artists have painted old pianos and left them out on the street, down in the Loop, for the enjoyment of passersby.

I really enjoyed the beauty in the face of decrepitude.

What visual intrigue -- that begs stories and players.

[gloria jones]

Those piano keys have certainly seen better days...great shot.

[Daryl O'Hare]

We have one very playable one in Midtown where my Mom is! I love these ideas

[Mona]

Beautiful, but also a bit sad.

[Marnie]

Absolutely fabulous, love it to bits.

[Pam Knowler]

It looks beautiful but I don't think much of a tune can be played on this beauty any more! Fav!

[Lynda McG]

Nice idea - great shot!

[Connie Little]

Wonderful shot of this artsy piano.

[HelenM]

Lovely shot - though rather sad to see the keys deteriorating

[Thom Mitchell]

A last hurrah of sorts? Nice shot.

[Lynne]

This is absolutely wonderful. Great shot

[Taffy]

This tells a story -- and makes me wonder about who the players have been over this piano's life.

[Lou Ann]

What a lovely renewal of the piano, painted beautifully and still bringing joy to folks. Fav!

[Ukandie!]

Ditto Taffy! Love the colors on this too, so bright and vibrant!

[Kathy]

I hope that there was good music along with the color and pattern.
