There's Music in these Hills

All Nature Sings...

A friend dropped by with a stack of old sheet music.  What a treasure trove of inspiration!  Bits of musical scores and lyrics inspired and enliven these (mostly small) paintings along with embedded photos and scraps of handmade papers.

​"Creativity makes a leap, then looks to see where it is."  Mason Cooley

When we look at a particular work of northwest coast art and see the shape of it, we are only looking at its after-ife.  Its real life is the movement by which it got to be that shape.  Bill Reid, Haida carver

"It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing."
Mark Rothko, artist
