Abstract Paintings - April-May/15

Dance of the Wrist

An art consultant called me the other day. She had been looking at my site and was struck by the musicality in my paintings. I was flattered!  My paintings reflect the rhythm of the music I listen to as I paint. As a musician and painter I find each discipline influences the other.  I always have music playing in my studio, ranging from aggressive hard rock to cool jazz. In many respects my paintings are a visual representation of those musical tastes, and the collaboration produces what I think of as a dance of the wrist. A good buddy also brought to my attention that the term " dance of the wrist" could have a different connotation. Dude! Get your mind out of the gutter!
