This is the 2nd painting I've done using the music of Steel Drum musician Joe Florentino. Joe IMHO is a Master steel drum musician - I love the steel drum. I have one of his CD's and since I always paint to music - I thought I would try to couple my painting with his music. The CD I have has 15 songs on it and I would assume the total play time is the best part of one hour.
I had a foggy vision of what I wanted to paint - I started the CD playing and I started throwing paint!!! When Joe improvised with his music - I improvised with my painting - when Joe went a little jazzy - I went a little jazzy. When his music stopped - I stopped painting!
