I think this first final version of the music for this music box is good enough to go to video. But later I knew in the past I have never settled for the first version of anything. I think the quality of this attached later fits this music box much better.
What surprised me with this latest artwork is the obvious size difference between the 30 inch canvas of Fast Car and the 40 inch Wichita Lineman. The advantage for me is that I have a lot more room on the main canvas for the speaker boxes and the sound system. On the smaller mini works, everything gets pressed together, which works, but having extra room is convenient.
I also struggle with the main color scheme for this artwork. Then end results is not as flashy as Dan Monkey, or even Fast Car, but the chosen colors go along with the music and the artist, Glen Compbell preferences of this outstanding song.
Not sure what my next music project will be. There is not a new musical piece humming in my head, saying “I’m next.” Hopefully, on my walks listening to some of my 2,343 LIKE songs, something will pop into my head and remind me who is next.
Side Note: I have three sites on the internet to show off this art. One of those sites is my members’ site which is EmptyWallsArt. This website offers me the unique opportunity to promote the selling of this art. Recently, I have updated my page to what I believe is the needed next level of information that is required to push this art out of of its current limited environment and into a gallery that supports artists. I believe this will be the destination of this art. I just would like it to be in my lifetime. I found this break through this in step 2 of a call for artist application listed by the ARC gallery in Chicago. In bold font I then created my version of these documents: Artist Statement, Describe your work, Exhibition Statement, & Explain why you are seeking a solo exhibition. All the documents, including my first version of Artist Statement, Describe your work, Exhibition Statement, and Explain why you are seeking a solo exhibition, along with my resume CV, BIO, Websites links, and FAQ, are available for viewing at EmptyWallsArt.
