rhythm
|
6 x 8, acrylic and ink |
It's when I can do it in straight time that I know how to swing it, how to stretch the beat, and play with the elements to make it my own. With music. With painting. Music and art. Wildly different. Strikingly alike.
With these new paintings, I am deliberately missing the downbeat and shifting the rhythms.
Frank Sinatra was a master at it. Here's one of my favorites, "Fly Me to the Moon."

How fun that I have two blogs open, and both embedded a Sinatra video! Love the Chairman of the Board.
Very strong abstracts from you, KVAN!
Love this Kathryn!
Casey: I have been a big Sinatra fan for a long time. My mother still gets dewy eyed when she hears "Old Blue Eyes." Thanks about the painting!
Thank you, Ruth! Sometimes good things come in small packages.
How many rhythm I saw here today...
Thanks!
Beautiful, strong painting. I like it a lot.
And how funny that we also have Sinatra on our blog this time!
