Not sure what to think about this. First of all.... I loved painting it. For me, this was about light, shadow and color. Not sure exactly how all that works from a technical aspect but this is what I painted. I'm finally trying to paint what I see and feel instead of approaching everything from a technical/science aspect. Sometimes I lose me in that process of painting how and what I'm supposed to paint. I guess at 67 I'm going through my terrible twos! Having never been formally trained as an artist, much of what I do is by the seat of my pants with the addition of support and critiques from a couple close friends and fellow artists. So here's the risk. Paint by feel or proven technique? I'm sticking my neck out here and going by instinct. I can then evaluate what I've done by the science of painting that I've been trying learn. Have I mastered that science? By no means BUT I've certainly gotten better. So it's time to throw in a few "experiments" for better or worse. I'm hoping that throwing caution to the wind and combining feel, and inspiration with the technical/science, my personal style can evolve. I think when, as an artist you can combine all of those elements... Bingo!! Not there yet but I can see it coming! I'm determined to get there.
Since I was at the performance that night, this is especially significant. Greg is currently playing with a band called Illumination Road. They are an excellent rock band and we all hope they have a bright future! Here's a sample of their music and a video of photos from that night!

Whether by science, technique or intuitive feel, you captured a moment with a lot of feel and passion. It is a powerful piece of art.
