Work in Progress Shots: Brain and Music, 24" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

Hello everyone,

It's been some time since the last painting update but I haven't been idle. Below I would like you to see progress pics of my upcoming painting on the Brain and Music.

The composition is a speaker where within it is the brain and sheet music.

Within the brain will be sections that are most active when either listening or playing music. Those sections will be highlighted with different colors and explained in the next blog post when the painting is completed.

Around the brain will be sheet music. The notes themselves are pretty random and aren't from any particular song. The sheet music is wavy which is meant to show the flow of music and help draw the viewer into the painting.

On top of all the elements within the speaker will be the mesh/grill. It'll cover the entire painting. Lots and lots and lots of little circles.

Because of all those circles, completing the painting has taken longer than expected. But I think it'll be pretty damn cool once it's done. Stay tuned!
