the art enthusiast: march 2011
It's March! Spring should be right around the corner - and I am looking forward to it!
Music has always had a big influence on my work. When I paint to Bach, I find myself getting very nostalgic and even melancholy - my colours are more muted. When I paint to Ray LaMontagne, I find myself slowing down and painting looser. And when I am painting to classic Nirvana I find myself getting into darker subject matter and applying the paint quickly and with more paint on the brush. It really is subconscious. Try creating (whether it's writing, painting, sculpting...) to different music and pay attention to how differently your work turns out! Paint the same subject matter to different music and it becomes even more clear.
