Using music as an inspiration I created drawings in pastel for a number of compositions by Paul C Duncan.

Shostakovitch String Quartet No 8
I’m increasingly using music to inspire my art work. These are details from three pieces based on the powerful string quartet by Shostakovitch. I immerse myself in the music and let the emotion flow through from hand to marks on the paper. It’s relaxing, almost meditative and very satisfying. These studies are pieces in their own right to me and if I paint to the music again I’d probably create totally different results. We shall see.
I am an artist based in Lossiemouth, Moray, Scotland, inspired by the natural world. I paint in acrylic, oil and watercolour, draw with pens and sketch with pencils and charcoal. My aim with this blog is to use it as an incentive to keep drawing, drawing, drawing. I will be posting my drawings, perhaps some paintings, photos, thoughts and other inspirational images, music and video that I come across.
