Musically inspired

One of my main inspirations is music. I am a girl of the 80's and so it goes without saying that 80's music is huge when it comes to what movies me to paint. I love hardcore, metal, opera... I'll give most things a chance  except that damn screamo crap!  While some are more obvious than others, my mind takes me to some odd places when I listen to music. Here are some of my musically inclined pieces. 

"Mercury Rising" 9x12 a tribute to Freddie 

"rick rolled"5x5 never going to give you up, thanks for getting stuck in my head. Freakin ginger 

"some day love will find you"   5x7
yes, I love Journey

"Ever since we met you've had a hold on me"  2x3 inspiration-Dusty Springfield

"This is the end" 9x12" inspired by soul crushing divorce and The Doors. Thank you Mr.Morrison

it is also a play off of a Dennis Hopper photograph that I love. They seemed to me to be very indifferent. It felt like the end of something to me.

"and then he kissed me" 2x3" - The Shirrelles 

"Being the hunted one is no fun" 2x3" -Cypress Hill 

oh , the 90's! 

"Cracklin Rosie" 11x14" - Neil Diamond. This song makes me as happy as that guitar humming!

"shiny and new" 8x10" -Madonna- like a virgin

"Peel Diamond" --Sweet Caroline

"springtime for Jeannette and Germany" from my trip to Germany and Mel Brooks always making laugh about Germans hahaha! 

"Police Story" 8x10 - Black Flag

"little china girl" 6x8    David Bowie

"when the doves cry ----purple rain" 8x10" 

no one loves Prince more than I do

"If i were the man" 11x14  John Prine and Cowboy Junkies
