My 100th posting! More than I had anticipated in such a short time. I have been pretty busy and I am pleased to have done so many posts since I began this blog. I have tried to balance the posts between my Digital Visual Art and Music. At times it was hard to do so, but I have a creative streak that needs a place to express it. So when I lost my website because of the economy I found blogger.com and another outlet for myself.
I am currently looking for photographs that are related to guitars or music performance to use here on my blog. If you have any that you would like to see digitally interpreted I would be happy to give you a credit and a possible link to your own blog or website in the post. I only have a few rules, photographs must be music related, preferably guitars or a performance of you playing your guitar. I reserve the right to select the link, it must be to a clean blog or website, no profanity or pornography allowed!
Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz are all acceptable subjects. And if you are a songwriter you will get a plug here online.
Today's image was done in PhotoPaint and I used KPT's Collection Pyramid Paint filter and overlaid a line art image using the object properties Multiply for transparency.
I was working on three new songs yesterday. "Everyday"; "Warm and Green"; and "I Want To Be With You." Sometimes a dry spell will last quite sometime and then suddenly I am engaged in a creative fever. "Everyday" is a Country Rock song about the days of the week. "Warm and Green" is a Folk Rock song about Springtime.
"I Want To Be With You" is a Jazz-like tune with simple lyrics and some singing without lyrics, I used a chord progression of Csus2 - Am7, Dm7 - G, F - E7 E, with a jazz tempo to the chords. I am not sure of the first chord designation as it is a modified C that a friend shared with me years ago and I have looked it up but I am not certain it is a Csus2. So much for professionalism. I know how to play it so I used it regardless of it's designation!
