Hey everyone…
Hope your having a great week….
Labor day is here and for most it signifies the end of summer…. living in las Vegas I wish it signified the end of 100 + degree weather…. but its been a productive week in the studio… the studio and the house smell like oil paint again….its interesting, I was struggling a bit getting back into the studio, but I shuffled my music and played some of my old favorite songs… and it seemed to open the gates of creativity…..(plus that and the bottle of St. Michele wine helped a little……lol) and then I was off and running….Music plays such a big part in our lives….For me having no music to listen to would be comparable to solitary confinement…. From Michelangelo to Picasso, many of the world’s famous artists have been influenced by music when creating their masterpieces. Many musicians today are referred to as artists and various artists have been moved by the poignant and influential vigour of music when drawing or creating beautiful art… Music stirs the minds and refreshes the soul.. I found that music and art can affect each artist differently. A sad depressing song for one artist may make another feel joyful or reminisce about a particular happy memory. I love jazz but some artists may hate it. … and nothing can get the paint moving like a great rock and roll anthem… try painting to Dokken….lol its a fast paint session… One thing is for sure… if your coming by for a studio visit or coming over to hang out… the music will always be flowing and provide a great atmosphere… I normally don’t put out work that is not finished, but given this weeks topic I thought it was appropriate… this is work in progress… its oil… 6 ft x 4 ft….. still more to come… have a great week everyone…. talk to you soon
………peace
……………….james
