The things we leave and B.O.C


These two were both finished at the same time. In fact the light silverish blue from one piece were used on the other right after they had been brushed on one.
The things we leave was my first real attempt at action painting and something to evoke the emotions of my feelings the night before my trip to dakar.



B.O.C tells a story of a young jazz musician being inspired. Follow the music over the buildings and observe the clouds that are over the buildings in the background. I wouldn't usually point out hidden things but this picture is small and sometimes it's hard to see hidden messages when you aren't viewing the piece in real life.

This is my favorite of yours so far. the music flowing out like a green and black snake is soooooo unique. how did you think of that? the setting is perfect, this african musician playing his horn in his home...he's not showing off for anyone, he's just jamming. way cool Ryo. you go girl!

loves,
