Who else watched Tom Petty "Damn the Torpedoes" last night? A fascinating documentary about an amazing musician.One of the things Tom that said really struck a chord with me (pardon the pun).
He was talking about composing music and said something along the line of "We always played them first on an acoustic guitar. It shouldn't matter what you play it on , a good song still sounds good on acoustic guitar or piano "(as well as electric guitar)...wow.That stopped me in my tracks.
I paint in both acrylic and watercolour ((two instruments) and Tom was so right- if the song (compostion/idea) is a good one you should be able to play it on either and it will still sound good.
I don't often paint the same composition (another pun?) twice , but this is one time when I did..I really enjoyed painting version 1 in watercolour and did it again in acrylic, and yes, I think both are strong paintings.
Time to get back into the studio and put on "Wildflowers" while I paint.
