Scales & Sound, 27×23 inches, reverse paint on glass

Christine White Art, Paint Harmonic Scales & Sound, 27x23 inches, reverse paint on glass

This piece and its sister piece “Dissonance, Resonance” are a mixture of many things that I love: music themes, the harmony of movement and color, shiny iridescent paints, and painting on glass.

This piece explores the rhythm repetition and variation of shapes – the relationship between the three fish, the water bubbles, and then the more organic shapes in the iridescent paint that surrounds them. There is a five-cord braid made of painted guitar strings suspended behind the painting – this creates the bass clef of the musical staff. Painted wooden beads and brass bells represent musical notes but also the sound of water and even the silence of bubbles floating in it.
