Early Morning Rapture

Harpo Marx (of the 1930s comedy team The Marx Brothers) out of costume, at home playing his harp to the morning mountains of Palm Springs through his bay window. For a long time only his face was done, I was so shaken about drawing his hands and the harp that I left it alone for months, but Harpo's birthday came yesterday and that pushed me to finish it. I had to piece alot of the background together from many photos, figuring out how his backyard and bay window really looked, how harpstrings hook up, etc. He had a stage-like platform that encircles the window so he could play his harp up there and enjoy the view. I like how it came out, its just what I was picturing in my mind when reading his autobio book. Happy 116th birthday, Harpo!
