Rhythm Connection, 24×12, oil

A year ago, I began learning to play the drums. It is a slow hobby for me – in that I don’t practice as much as I should if I wanted to actually play the drums.

That said, learning has given me even greater appreciation for the rhythm section in a live performance. I had originally created this painting to focus on just the lighting and the drum set. But the deep connection that music artists have with their instrument, bandmates, and audience required a more intimate imagery.

Paint is applied in varying depths in this piece: thin to convey light and atmosphere, and thick to lay down the colors of the heart.
