Chris plays trumpet in the evenings but his mornings serve for painting pictures. He loves to paint outdoors, but also rents a studio where, on a big easel, he creates large mixed media paintings by combining the electronic and traditional techniques. Of all fine art media, he likes the oil painting techniques the most. He likes to put a lot of paint on canvas. He spends most of his salary on all sorts of painting materials. After a day of struggle to deal with a challenge, Chris looks “artistic.” His colleagues were well accustomed to stains of paint on his pants and colorful rims around his nails, but these marks became an issue when Duncan a media man started to work on the advertisements and on the orchestra website. A noisy dispute arose between Chris and Debbie . She is a music collector, and is also an avid photographer Her task was to take the photographs of the orchestra members.

Chris was making a fuss over his appearence land complained, “Don’t zoom at my hands, go away from me!’ but Debbie said, “I can’t miss a chance to show such a character, don’t go away.” In the end, a still portrait of Chris looked “correct,” but a music video clip that Debbie later shot displayed everything she wanted to show.
This Friday there will be an opening of his individual show at the City Center Art Gallery."Muse" In his artist's statement Chris informs the viewers that his artwork has been inspired by music. He asks his friends from the orchestra: a violinist Amadeus, a violist Eliza, a flutist Peter, a bassoonist Lawrence, and a bass player Ronald to improvise music while watching his creations at the opening reception in the gallery. A quite difficult situation happened when a musician told Chris they could not fairly understand a theme of his art, to create the music that would be good enough for this purpose. Chris asked the musicians to examine each picture, once at a time, while playing during the performance. Nevertheless, the musicians’ performance and the reception were extremely successful. Even three tough music critics, Monique, Miranda, and Michelle, stated their favorable opinion in "The Solar Rise", a local leading newspaper
