synesthesia
New Painting. Easier than I thought
I finished this about 10 minutes ago.
You may remember the color study
The hold up was that I didn’t know what music to play while I painted. Sounds trivial, but the thing is that I didn’t know that was the hold up for a couple of weeks. I figured it out earlier today. So, clearly it didn’t take long to fix.
I listened to Firewater, BTW. I’ve only painted with these colors a few times before. I’ve used Alice in Chains, but it’s a slightly different feel. If you’re reading this and think I’m nuts, I have synesthesia so I see colors when I hear sound. It makes it easy to come up with color schemes. Sometimes I pick the music to fit the colors, most often I pick the colors to fit the music. At some point, I’ll mention which music goes with which paintings / colors / styles.
Right now I’m going to enjoy a feeling of accomplishment.
My favorite painting (I’ve done)
This is from this year’s Halloween paintings. I redid a painting of the song “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie.
My wife, Trish was the model.
It’s the closest representation of what my synesthesia looks like that I’ve painted. This is kind of what I’m seeing when I’m hearing that song.
I included in my paintings here, since it’s basically an evolution of the Fluid Beauty style. I usually try to keep the two projects separate.
I’ll post soon about the process and how I figured out how I was going to paint this one. For now, I’m just trying to post regularly.
