Music is as much a part of my creative process as are paint and canvas. Walk into my studio during work hours and you will be greeted by a variety of rhythms, vocals and musical styles. R&B, Pop, Electronica, Salsa, Jazz...each inspires me in its own unique manner.
Unless you're new to this blog, you probably know by now that for better or worse...brilliant or just downright out-there and kooky, I am a huge Prince fan.
This week I'll post a few paintings (some new, some not so new) that were inspired by the music of the Great Purple One.
inspired by Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wifeacrylic on canvas/18x24"available
This painting is also available as a
print.
Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife, is an amazing ballad from Prince's 1996 triple album
Emancipation. The song is one of several in the album which celebrates his then-wife, the beautiful
Mayte Garcia, and their union.
