Put one of my favourite CD's on Enigma MCMXC a.D. I find this Cd relaxing and also uplifting when I hear what I call the monks voices - I love Mea Culpa and Rivers of Belief. I could see visions of darkness lifting into light purple with swirls going up to the heavens as the voices raised me up. So this is my first painting.
Then with the left over paint on my plate and to the sounds of Rivers of Belief - I just swayed to the beat of the sounds with a paint brush in my hand and felt like doing swirly things. Then I just had to add yellow to my red and blue purple swirls. Quite enjoyed the freedom of doing these second paintings as I just let my body loose and my hand fluid.
After doing a few more chores I decided to see what my painting would be like if I listened to a different type of CD. Poured myself a rum and coke, put on some blues/rock - these songs included JJ Cale/George Thorogood/ZZ Top/Robert Cray. After my third rum, a few songs and a bit of dancing around the lounge room, I decided this music was more uplifting and bright. So I chose red/orange/yellow in bands of colour - to the sounds of George Thorogood's Treat Her Right I flicked my brush onto the bands of colour then added me dancing to the middle of it all, did more flicking with black paint.
Once I found the time to do these paintings I did quite enjoy them - I found I needed to listen to a few songs before I got a feeling of colours to paint and the way I felt like expressing the sounds in paint. I felt very relaxed and happy after completing these paintings (unless that was the three rums I had!).I also experimented with the left over paint on the plate - will post on that later.
