Painting To Music.

Goldfinch60



In my life I have seen and heard such wonderful things.

The artwork that has streamed through my eyes

Bringing me into the heart and mind of the artist,

I have stood for hours looking at one painting,

Pulling me into its glory and wonder,

Creating tunes within me that take me to a new place.

 

Music has inhabited my long life since birth.

The glory of it bring peace and glory to my soul,

I listen and listen to its stunning wonder

And sometimes it brings images to my mind

Showing the creation of the composer,

Giving me its beauty in such a colourful way.

 

So I look at my life in such glory

Where music and art combine,

Allowing me to see music

And to hear artwork.

 

 

“A painting is music you can see and music is a painting you can hear” – Miles Davis

  • Fay Slimm.

    Your wonderfully uplifting words and the thrilling quote give both painting and music the closest of true relationships Andy - they have always meant much to me too.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Fay, so glad they both mean a lot to you as well.

            Feels almost like a synesthete's manifesto...
            You may gather followers with that one, Andy....

              I have enough problems with the police following me when I put my mask on! LOL

                Come on Andy, get used to it – Celebrity.
                You gotta learn to adjust. It is not going to go away - get, as I say, used to it.
                ‘course you could always go for plastic surgery – changed nose, get rid of eyebrows….gonna cost you a motzer though…
                Look I’ve still got contacts in the UK – without too much aggravation easy to put together a small but effective group of guys who would look after you and clean up everyone’s act. Modest fee. Up to you.

                • Goldfinch60

                  How modest?

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    That's a bit sharp Andy mate. You really can't put a price on security and peace of mind.
                    But since it is you, such a mainstay of MPS, Twitter and other no doubt undisclosed locations deep in cyberspace, we can talk about rates by day, week or month and...Oh hang on me spreadsheet's gone down and .....nah - I'll have to get back to you on that one, but in the meantime, stay strong.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      It's OK Dave I can always get Orchi to sort it out for me by Singing outside there houses.

                    • myself and me

                      Have not been here for a while. It is always a delight experience reading your writing. Art and music touch us with their special power.
