Before you look at my paintings let me explain that I have been playing music professionally since 1958. To me there are basically two types of music:
Music played from written music and therefore played 'as written'Jazz, which is improvised music. The musician 'creates' the music as the instrument is being played.I have put the word create in quotes, because when I play jazz I feel less the creator and much more the tool (instrument) of a creative process. The process starts outside of me, flows through me and ends outside of me, first at the piano and from there at the audience. Whenever I try to start the creative process with ME, things don't go so well. The music is much better, much more spontaneous, much more inspired if I remove my ego from the creative process, from the flow of things. After all, inspiration means 'Spirit' coming 'in'.
I have played both kinds of music and feel that they, with respect to painting, can be compared to Realism and Abstract Expressionism.
Of great importance to me is that, when I write songs, the lyrics come at the same time. In other words
There is a MESSAGE attached to my music!
At the end of my array of paintings you will see some realistic ones. Portraits, a dog, dancers. So much for realism.
My abstracts are the result of the flow of nature streaming through me, using me as a tool, and ending up on the canvas. As such I don't question the result. Many times 'things' appear on my canvases that I never intended to paint. They just appear as if someone else placed them there. I stopped questioning that also. For a while, after having finished a painting, I would asked myself: Would someone like to have this hanging in their living room? But if I were to start painting from that perspective, I would be creating what I call BABart (Bread and Butter art). Fortunately I don't depend on my art income to make a living. Which gives me the freedom to paint the way I'm guided to paint and the way I want to paint. Just as in my music there are lyrics that come with some of the songs, I find that many times there are 'messages' attached to my paintings. They are non-verbal, naturally, and more of a symbolic nature. But they are there, loud and clear. Enjoy!
