Sing for Me

2009.10.07


"
Words when spoken out loud for the sake of performance are music. They have rhythm and pitch and timbre and volume. These are the properties of music and music has the ability to find us and move us and lift us up in ways that literal meaning can't."

I love music, and I love anybody who really knows how to speak in public.  I don't mean people who talk for the sake of talking, but individuals who understand how words work.  Musical or otherwise.  I don't remember what song I was listening to when this idea popped into my head, but I'm glad it set me off on this piece.

The art may show its age, but I still love it.  The proportions are off, but I'm proud of the expression on her face, and the way the lighting works.  It's stuff like this that makes me wish there was somewhere locally I could go to have a drink and sit back listening to a jazz band or a talented lounge singer.  I tried to make this piece as simple as I could.  No fancy dress design or elaborate hairstyle.  Just an image of a talented lady singer her heart out.

I definitely need to revisit this one.  ^_^
