time music art
Here is my first piece off my new easel: “Out Of The Blues” – it was easier to move my easel up and down as I needed to and even though this is a small piece (10 x 8 x 2 inches) the easel was unbelievably comfortable to work on! Watch out world – I’ll…

Art of Improvisation
I’ve been thinking about music, Jazz specifically, pondering where music comes from, what inspires it – especially when it’s improvised on the spot during live performance. Somebody has to hang onto the melody like a bulldog and yet allow something “new” to drop in… the art I did on this topic is below. I’ve been…

the inspiration lab
A neighbor asked me to take care of her three Labradors while she was away. Each time, as I served up doggy dinner, one of the dogs “sang” in a sweet baritone – thus inspiring my artwork pictured above titled “Lyrical Lab”. This is one of the artworks that will be in an exhibit opening…

food music
Here’s a piece I finished recently titled “Tune and Sandwich”. I’ve been thinking recently of how often music and food go together for me. “Tune and Sandwich” will probably be in an upcoming October wine-dinner-art exhibit called “Cooks and Corks” – more on that under the events tab at Caplan Art Designs.
