CHOPIN’S PIANO

It’s been awhile since I’ve carried a complex doodle into a fine art piece. So here is Chopin’s Piano. I used every color not because I wanted to enter it into a “Use of Color” contest (which I did but past the deadline and didn’t want to rush)—I use all colors most of the time. This was a piece inked with one stroke while listening to a Chopin piece. It was created for therapy.

I’m stuck home-bound just like everyone else. It’s claustrophic but I’m not adverse from it—being somewhat of a hermit. I seem to do my best work when I’m “dark”. This piece is free and happy and helped pass time while moving forward.

Adobe Illustrator is a vector app and has really worked up some more free-flowing tools but I like the control of drawing each point and line manually, without filters. Ironically it makes the art contain more movement and actually gives me more freedom while creating. I have the option of changing a line or color without the arduous task of over-painting or by taking up so much time mixing paint. And that’s it! It’s music in line and color.
