S_V_H Chopin’s Tristesse image2

Fragment of this large 36″ by 14 foot canvas:  This canvas is based on the last 9 measures of this most wonderful musical piece.  What is seen here is the effect of the Birthday painting.  This work will take the impact of that days efforts and drain it to where this canvas now becomes the new painting to try and match.

There is never a match, or even an imitation, for it always has proven to be impossible to duplicate what is.  As what has been said before, each work demands its own identity, no matter what the cost.  Plus, It just cannot be allowed to  happen, for there is too much to learn, and no time but the moments taken building ideas that are used to bounce from the last work into the next.

S_V_H Chopin’s Tristesse image1

This is a early picture of the progress of Chopin’s  Etude op. 10 no.3  “Tristesse”  This canvas is 36inches by 14feet in length.  This subject is based on the final 9 measures that at first alarm and then gently touches over and over until final notes takes your heart away.

The Very Thought of you – final images

This is a easel image taken of The Very Thought of You (24inches by 8 ft) on August 1st.

This is that same painting finished, on August 15th.  There was the thought on July 30th that this painting was done.  After doing the Birthday painting, everything changed, and after some trial and plenty of error, I good fit was found to move this work forward.  Tomorrow,  it is hoped that a much larger and detailed image will be posted on the website.  Tonight,  starts a work by Chopin “Tristesse.”
