Painting is not just putting wet color on paper. Painting is not just expressing yourself. Painting is music without words or sound. Each pitch possesses a color that rumbles and affects other. Major and minor chords can also be used in conjunction with each other like colors mixing, blending together. Just as the musician measures the intervals of the voices heard by the ear, the painter measures the distance of things as they get dull from the eye. The harmonic proportions of music were thus the same as the proportions of perspective in painting. Through tunes, I’ll paint a picture, each time different, each time unique. The central pink circle, surrounded by a red rings, then a concentric band of black, then deep blue, and then a final band of gray with a blurry, irregular edges, is like a single brass note vibrating outward until the sound begins to fade.
