An Absinthe Idea


Richard L. Tabor, Abstract Music Painting, 2011, Oil on Canvas, 24 x 18 inches
Project Description: Paint while listening to an instrumental song continually until painting is completed. Any form of symbols cannot be used.
This painting was very hard for me. I do not do well with abstraction. The song I chose was “Any Other Name” by Thomas Newman. I focused on the feelings of sadness, confusion, and the sense that I was some how falling after a resent break up. It was a very hard piece to work on. To be honest, I cried twice.
