Today I've been thinking of music and painting and ways in which they overlap. When I listen to different kinds of music and instruments I get a very real sense of color and shape. High pitched instruments-trumpets, flutes, etc-come across as triangular and bright in color, whereas the piano to me has a broad spectrum of color and has the effect of washing over one like ripples of water. That's the effect, or mood that I wanted to portray here—the essence of music flowing out in concentric rings of light and hue.
