Sounds of Tides

I finished a set of 4 paintings yesterday that form one painting series.  This set is definitely different from the other paintings I've created, I don't know if it's because of the colors or the overall mood of the painting that makes it different but I really like it.  My boyfriend gave me some music to listen to as my motivation and this is what came of it, so kind of interesting for sure. :-)  I've got 2 other paintings that I'm almost finished with and they are all very different from one another.  That's probably something I really enjoy about my own art work is that it's never really the same or consistent.  I see a lot of other artists work and their paintings have a general theme or melody throughout each painting and with mine it's entirely different---then again that could be the whole artists mind thing.  I'm sure they think their paintings are entirely different too, so maybe mine have a similar ongoing theme as well that I just don't see.  Eitherway, I'm glad to say that these paintings were fun to create and very creative, enjoy!

Behind the Scene:
This set of paintings was inspired by the music of Arovane, an electronic type of music that has a more organic texture and natural pace about it.  The music smooths over rough edges and I think that's why the paintings came out the way that it did.  There's a particular song that I'm quite attracted to that is on the "Lilies" album titled "Instant Gods Out of the Box" as well as the "Tides" album titled, "Tides" which also had major contribution to this piece.  If you listen to "Tides" you'll actually hear the ocean through the instruments-- it's very compelling.  Unravel the world of nature and see how the tides speak.
