Try google images. Search for fiddle players.
I do a lot of cut and paste from there for flyers.
If you want to really enlarge a picture right click on it, choose copy then right click on an open word doc and choose paste.
From there you can make it as large as you want
You could also try wwww.youtube.com and search for "Irish session." There are quite a few videos of sessions which you could "pause" at the point where you like it. I don't think you can "copy and paste" but I think you can print the paused image.
Go to Google's "images" search function and type in the name of a fiddler who's reasonably well-known --- Kevin Burke, Martin Hayes, Paddy Canny. You'll get lots of images to choose from --- and you can do the right click copy, or do a drag-and-drop, to save the ones you like. You can't expand them, though, without losing image quality in a hurry, so if you really like the image click on it to be taken to the source webpage and copy it from there.

Does any know of any web pages that have pictures of people playing the fiddle or in sessions? I sometimes like to draw.

Hey, Kheelch
I have lots of pictures on file from parties I've been to. Drop me a line and I can send you some if you like.

Hate to sound very negative, but most of what has been said above sounds like out and out plagiarism to me!

Relax, scraper...Kheelch said he (or she) just likes to draw fiddlers sometimes. Hardly anything that the art world will become alarmed over.
