Signed and dated, the only task left to do on Flowers is to add the LED light strip, which I will do in a couple of days. My main take away on this music box is I like the strong contrast between the canvas and the music. I will follow this trend into the future. … Continue reading S_V_H Flowers

To get this project going, I had already started with a canvas base color of light orange that luckily worked with the image above I found later. Finding an artworks color theme comes after first choosing the music. For me it is important to learn an artist’s choice of colors to better connect this art … Continue reading S_V_H 2nd images Miley & Adele

As mentioned previously, I was not at first convinced to paint Miley Cyrus’s song, “Flowers,” but I wanted to add additional music by women to my submission for the ARC Gallery. I was little surprise at this choice of this music for I have never painted a song so current. My general thinking is to … Continue reading S_V_H First Image of Flowers

It happened again. I have missed another even more important exhibition than the Hopkins International: the MMoCA Triennial, the deadline of October 24, 2024. Of course like the Hopkins Center for the Arts, this is a major disappointment, taking away my positive attitude for the day. Yes, I mentioned this and got advice, but what … Continue reading S_V_H New music Project “Flowers”

This canvas background image I like the diverse use of colors and the depth. This style of blending different colors together, so far, accomplishes what I want with a background: a straight forward delicate balance of self-effacing mix of colors that projects interest, and a new look for this art, It took me a while … Continue reading S_V_H 2nd Image All too well ………………………….(plus, I am done chasing my tail)

I am a Taylor Swift fan. How do I know for sure? I found that answer in the number of her songs that are in my Spotify Liked Songs list that reaches to 2,472. A surprising 29 songs on this list are by Taylor Swift. In contrast, I have 44 songs by Bruce Springsteen. That … Continue reading S_V_H 1st image All too Well

The artwork, Everything I do, is an example in a long line of breakthrough projects that have changed the look, the style, and the direction of this art. I have four reasons for this style shift. First is simple: I was tired of the current direction. I took another new look at Mark Rothko. Using … Continue reading S_V_H Final Image Everything I Do

Everything I do, the music box artwork pictured above, displays a new design direction for this art. This change came about from looking back at how the artist Mark Rothko handled color.
