I am a Taylor Swift fan. How do I know for sure? I found that answer in the number of her songs that are in my Spotify Liked Songs list that reaches to 2,472. A surprising 29 songs on this list are by Taylor Swift. In contrast, I have 44 songs by Bruce Springsteen. That makes sense. I grew up hearing his music on the radio. Billie Holiday, another long-time favorite, and a close woman second to Taylor at 25. I have 9 Mozart songs and 10 Beethoven songs in my Like Songs. My classical favorite since the beginning of this art, Antonio Vivaldi, has 28 songs in my Like Songs.

I know it is hard to grasp, but this first image colors for All Too Well all came from the video. To explain, watching the video, I saw the colors in the changing seasons. That gave me my color direction. This project will comprise different shades of blue, green, brown, and white. This video, like many I have used in the past, is helpful in giving me direction and, at times, insight into the artist’s thinking and their taste for colors.
