Finally! Sun, and it’s still light at 5pm. My palette is reaching for a higher key as I imagine a Winter Wave Finding Its Music, striving to arrange itself on the lines of the musical staffs that are ready and waiting. Three waves coming in; three nebulous rhythms of foam crisscrossing their way into the foreground. The painting was inspired, in part, by a concert given at the New England Conservatory. Bruce Brubaker performed brilliantly at the piano, and his interpretations of works by John Cage, Philip Glass, and Alvin Curran informed the “light touch” I tried to achieve in the painting, along with the repetition and subtle variations.
