090323 Spanish Music Sketching
Last week I used a sketch of a new massage quilt as the background for my random notes during the week. This week, continuing the Spanish theme of recent times, I have sketched in ‘high panic mode’, the four places that inspired the four pieces of music (Spanish guitar pieces) that I am listening to while having my 20 minute massage. There is a strong irony that I have used the music that is supposed to relax me to do something as exhilarating as this exercise!
These 4 pieces add up to 20 minutes and so I sketched them in that time – this also included flicking through the pdf file of my Spanish photo album to get to a photo in time to sketch. The Alhambra piece suffered the most – I had no idea it was only 3 minutes long. If anyone knows the piece of music I always imagined the waterfalls while listening to it... But after trying to sketch the court of the lions I realise that the architecture fits the piece perfectly.... My pen was going in time with the music.
Now does all this make sense?... I think it is time for me to calm down and just enjoy the music and massage!!
