Tag: Family Ties

Here are four YouTube videos that tell the story of why a song I first heard around 40 years ago lingers to this day as part of my musical story. Beyond being tonally a fine arrangement, this music speaks to my favorite type of love song I totally related to when I was “so much younger than”, and still lean that way to this day: unrequited Love. I have already painted several youthful unrequited love songs over the years, including Cherish by The Association, Mr. Brightside, Swift’s All too Well, and Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey. Crying the cover of the Roy Orbinson song by K. D. Lang is another on my future short list of projects.

Below are scenes from Family Ties that I watched of Tracy Pollen on Family Ties, to pick out the colors I would use in this artwork. What colors stood out to me were Cobalt Blue, red, blue jeans, and turquoise dark and lighter tones. Now, all these colors and some others I noticed are only a starting point. They will show up in the artwork as seen in the first image above. But, I will change colors to work closer together, all in that range. I see that blue and turquoise will be the easiest to find shades that work together. I am concerned with the cobalt blue and red (a color I shy away from if I can).

I could not post the YouTube video so here is the YouTube Link to the scene when they had their first kiss.
