The Music Maker by Deborah Nell


"The Music Maker" by Deborah Nell

16"x22" Watermedia on Yupo paper

In this painting I wanted to express the joy and sound of music being created by a musician. Music takes us places we've never been before and lifts our spirits. I never paint wihout listening to music. To all the music makers out there... thank you.

This painting is for sale. I can be reached through my website at http://www.deborah-nell.artistwebsites.com/

Amen sister from a fellow music lover! Hope to see you on Friday!

I think one of the hardest things for an abstract painting to do for me is to create movement on the painting. I see the hands move and the music playing in this terrific painting!

Pat Koscienski said...

I agree with Thom, Deborah. I can feel the movement and almost hear the music. Great painting.

I just love the way you handle yupo, a very difficult paper (?) to deal with.
This musician looks totally engaged in his playing...

There is a definate energy from the live musician. Your painting delivers that energy in the color and movement. Nice.

You make me wish I could paint expressive, abstract art.

This painting is so alive! The colors around him are like the music in action.
