The paintings exude a strong personality and you make very effective use of intense colour. I particularly like the one at 2:12 - 2:19. Although I have tried improvising under the influence of certain paintings with varying degrees of success, any permanent or direct association between the two media eludes me. I do like your music and your art taken individually though, and the clip is a pleasing juxtaposition of the two.

thanks ted.   ;D

the music was just background for the paintings I recorded the audio at a different time,  I have been thinking about making a themed slide show though.   Take all of my swamp type paintings and play ragtime behind the pics--that would be cool.   

I would like to make an audio track designed to go with the paintings... or where the emotion of the music and the emotion of the painting are the same.

or like playing a programmatic work and letting the art reflect the music...IDK

Hi dc.
I think the neon tint and subject matter works well with the blues… An appropriate union.
I would be curious to see your watercolors without the tint as well… (though it may not be As suitably joined with blues, but still… )
Thanks for sharing  :)

Your artwork is awesome. Nice florescent touches, and the planets are beautiful. The piano is lovely and relaxing. I could listen to that all day. Not sure that the piano and artwork compliment each other though. Maybe too many slides, but it is all good

well thank you so much!!  ;D

art is a newer hobby I am only about 4 years in.   The computer effects give it the neon look...  It's cool with the photo editor--you get a lot more mileage out of your work so to speak.  I can change things 1000 times and never hurt the original--it's just fun.  Some folks play video games...I play with watercolors and a photo editor... when I am not playing the piano that is.

I am working on some basic animation for my next project.   The place I work at has a full recording studio and a professional video editing system that kicks butt.  I will be posting some great looking videos soon---with  pro audio soundtracks

Both the music and art were very enjoyable.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
