When you listen to a song – really listen to it – the words, how the music flows, the beat and rhythm – the music really gets to you, hits you in the heart, makes you feel.
Sometimes it’s lovely, floaty music and lyrics – thinking ‘It’s Great When We’re Together’ – or the energy and joy of ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ – that’s how I experience my paintings – sometimes floaty, smooth, curves and colours – and then sometimes spiky, bright, lots of action!
Paintings to match songs, or rather, painting feelings to match a song – both complement each other – experience one, feel the other. That’s how I paint – sometimes I match the song after the painting, sometimes I paint for a song I have in my head, one that just won’t leave (you know the ones) and sometimes I paint while I listen – quickly, frantically, takes as long as the song does!
My art shows love, happiness, friendship, naughtiness (sometimes 🙂) but also apology, and loss. Hopefully your life is like this – and the life of the person you’re thinking of when you see the painting, and listen to the song? Hopefully, theirs is like that too.
Enjoy the site, have a look around, let me know what you think. If you have a song in your head that’s not here, let me know, maybe I can give it a go – tell me why it’s important to you, what you see when you close your eyes and we’ll see where it takes us.
Take care
