Prince Inspiration Week over at my blog.

Today's Post

Music is as much a part of my creative process as are paint and canvas. Walk into my studio during work hours and you will be greeted by a variety of rhythms, vocals and musical styles. R&B, Pop, Electronica, Salsa, Jazz...each inspires me in its own unique manner.

Unless you're new to this blog, you probably know by now that for better or worse...brilliant or just downright out-there and kooky, I am a huge Prince fan.
This week I'll post a few paintings (some new, some not so new) that were inspired by the music of the Great Purple One.

inspired by Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife
acrylic on canvas/18x24"
available (original and prints)

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I think Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife is based on some of the preliminary sketches I was lucky enough to see months ago, right? Either way, it's fantastic to see what that song has turned into in your mind's eye.

Also, the guy with the stylized daisies is one of my favorites of yours that I've seen so far. Your subject matter is typically female, so it's a treat to see you do a sort of male dandy figure.
