symphony

$100.00

Medium: Mixed media (acrylic, gouache, oil stick, oil pastel) on raw canvas

Dimensions: 10 X 10

My mind is a swirling cloud of emotion, memory, music, and language. Sometimes it feels like a symphony (mostly when I'm painting or making music), but more often than not, it's a cacophony. This painting explores that feeling, of being lost in a mind of sound, not sure you want to get out. It mixes layers of acrylic, gouache, oil stick, and oil pastels.

Accompanying Poem:

SYMPHONY

just four movements will not do

i need

multitudes of sound

more like a cacophony

swirling seas in my head

of musical notes

not numbers (of course)

the eddies of time

churning in the deep

like discordant lullabies

spiraling out into the current

basically,

i’ve been thinking too much

Additional Details:

  • Oil pastel, sprayed with fixative, but will still smudge (will be shipped wrapped in glassine)

  • Archival varnish & fixative

  • Comes with Certificate of Authenticity

  • Signed on front and back

  • This painting does not come framed

  • All sales are final

  • 2-3 weeks shipping and processing
