Trio - A Musical Canvas - Jazz inspired Art

More music inspired Art

....

I'm keen to paint more of these little canvases.

Really enjoying the fluidity of them.

.

I just paid thru' the nose for a pair of Steely Dan tickets.

But it's worth it for front row seats!

Now I'm just counting the days... Count Down to Ecstasy, ha ha. ; )

.

But really, a girl has to have something to look forward to,

and now I'm really inspired to paint.

Daffodils - To honour the Arrival of Spring

Kind of "in your face" daffodils, but I like to paint flowers close up. Like you're actually sitting amongst them!

.

Happy Spring!

Piano Man - A little tribute to timeless music

.

Okay, this could be considered a portrait of Donald Fagen on the piano

and Walter Becker on the guitar.

.

I'm truly not one to paint people, or rather any specific people.

I've always considered fan art to be kind of weird. Never thought I'd be one to stoop

to this, but, well, there you go.

Plus, I don't want to insult anyone I happen to admire!

.

However, I was listening to Steely Dan in the studio while painting this,

(which I quite often do),

and, they are my very favourite group, or rather, dynamic duo,

so why not paint what inspires?

.

I'm thrilled to say, they are coming to Toronto this coming July!

Since this will be my 6th time seeing them live, I'm hoping for really good seats!

Front row centre would be just fine! ; )

.

But seriously, I can offer the names of many gifted individuals who've inspired these musical paintings I'm now creating.

.

Consider these series of paintings odes to the great's, past and present, who've added to the culture of this world by creating timeless sound.

Music that does not play on fads or fashion, and are in no way flashes in any pan.

.

Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Art Tatum, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Chick Corea, Oscar Peterson, Stan Kenton, Charles Mingus, and Gil Evans, Gene Krupa.

.

The list goes on...
