My hubby and I have the best conversation over drinks.  Not necessarily alcoholic beverages, coffee will do.  It’s something about being out and having nothing to do but sit and sip and talk.  A recent conversation led us to the topic of art.  Now, my husband is kind of new to this whole art world thing but he is a voracious student and always eager to learn something new.  His great love is music, so naturally he made the connection between the evolution of art and the evolution of music.  Artist Amy Mass, like many artists, listens to music while she paints.  What sets Amy’s work apart is that she paints to the music.  So each piece is a direct result of the music being played during the painting process.

Like the musical scores which inspire them, Amy’s paintings are filled with rhythm and expression.  You can almost see the staccato of the notes, the resounding beat of the drum.

Layers of color and texture mimic the overlapping cacophony of sounds inherent in a symphonic composition.
