Notes of paint


I've come to realize ,that -you are what you listen.So I've come up with some findings concerning the music in art.These range from Impressionism to Conceptualized art and vice avers.
If you happen to be an expressionist its better off you listen to Hip-Hop,while the impressionist and his light ,rhymes along with Jazz music.
If you are a realist painter,Reggae music works fine.However -if you are an abstract head then Rock music works better.
Conceptualized art goes hand in hand with the classical/orchestra stuff.
All other genres of music work best with Surrealism.And as for Cubism,African music comes in handy.

Abstract Four


Advanced Cityscape,Acrylics on canvas,20" x 16".

This is the last abstract I executed in Mondrian's style.The blue background stands for the city skyline,dark blue marks for tarmacked roads.Yellow marks for lights during nighttime.The other colours and marks stand for people and buildings.

Abstract Three


Advanced village scape,Acrylics on paper,64cm x 45cm.

When I was doing this painting I was thinking about Piet Mondrian and his De Stijl movement.It's a bit Cubist in style and uses the line as a means of passing the message.
The red background stands for the rural/soil landscape.The brown marks for village homesteads.Orange Yellow marks for footpaths,thick dark blue for the tarmac road.Grey marks for shopping centers.

Abstract Two


Abstract Landscape,Acrylics on paper,64cm x 45cm.

This can be undeveloped land,full of wild vegetation and flowing streams of water.Against a backdrop of encroaching city expansion.

Abstract One


Old house,Acrylics on paper,64cm x 45cm.

This piece is of an old building left in ruins.It also shows the contrast that exists between modern day building design and the older style of designing.Like a classic building in the middle of the city.

The Rooftops


A friend of mine who works as a freelance photographer snapped this pic as he was testing his gadget.Amazingly,it caught everything nicely from a birds' eye view.
