Cherish, is finished with all the structure that makes up this music is in place.   Tomorrow, I will clean,  touch up, and add a number of small wood pieces to give the music at little more interest.

Cherish, is a wonderful song about unrequited love, that made it relevant in the 60’s and I believe it still holds today. That is one reason I painted it.  Many of my artworks I complete reflect the times I grow up.  Cherish is one of those 3 minute songs that have given hundreds of hours of remembrance,  and reflection to many of us. Sometimes it is good to look back, laugh at yourself, and realize how far you have come.  You envy your youth in those days, but know that the best is yet to come.

S_V_H Cherish image 3

cherish_3All the music you are seeing in this image are custom cut pieces of wood.  That has become a big part of the current style.  I think using wood add-on pieces gives this art the opportunity to create new looks, improves interest, and enhances that important three-dimensional look, although it is  still missing a key musical dimension: sound.  For now, at this moment, this is  a static image of a piece of music representing the sound of that music without being heard. Maybe the use of wood is just the next step, in my step-by-step adventure to try to figure out what I am trying to accomplish with these paintings.
