His PianoIt was a piano. A polished white, Yamaha, grand piano. Yet for Josh, it became everything.

It was an interesting day on campus. Lunch events were going on campuswide and almost everyone was outside. As Josh walked through the halls of the music building, he heard only one noise - the sweet melodies of a piano flowing through the hallway. It was nothing he had ever heard before. He dropped his stuff down and dashed down the hall, looking in the practice rooms to see if anyone was there.

As he ran, the noise became more beautiful. He finally found the practice room and arrived just as the piece ended.

He stood at the door way, slightly out o

It was an unusual, bittersweet day, that in which Odette and René met by chance on the bus. The two lovers sat far apart from each other and the central space was occupied by standing people who found no available seats when they aboarded. Although their proximity impeded conversation, their gazes were intently fixed upon each other, and they smiled as they quietly resolved to meet near the Philo river. It was Friday, and it was their custom to go those days after college to the central park, in the hub of town, and sit in the terrace of a nearby café where they made lighthearted recollections of their da

Dance of the Dropletsby ~Dragonfly22

Traditional Art / Drawings / Abstract

This piece although simple & not amazing as it may be, it's quite interesting for me because first, it combines some nice concepts like, music, passion and my interests in general, and also because of the cheery atmosphere.

It can be interpreted as many ideas, but for me it's about how everything sort of revolves (actually, in my world) around music and represents this stage of my life in which I'm experimenting a lot of new things and meeting awesome inspirational people.

With this piece I also learned how art truly represents the artist, even the most sublte details tell something, like the way I called the piece "Dance of the Droplets" because at this point I feel like dancing and swirling and so is the drawing.
I had also fun creating it because I really took it very slow, step by step in order to focus and see what I truly wanted to convey.
I modified some things in paint after I scanned it, hope you can relate

This is BEAUTIFUL! And great description . . . really agree about the bit about the pieces revolving around the artist. That's what I tried to capture in mine as well, though not in a cheery way.

I love this. Thank you for sharing!

Yeah, I think both our works are very similar, because of the symetry implied and the hub/center of attraction. We just captured it differently. I'll send you something else I did once, a painting of similar style (in fact, I had it on dA for a while but I think I removed it

) Anyway, you sort of awakened the interest for painting abstract again! I might retake it and submit a few decent shots of them (if I manage to take some time for it).
Thanks!

Ironically, you did the same thing for me!

I'm definitely feeling like doing something like that again if I can find a place to start.

Awesome! Then we should get to it

I really like this, it reminds me of Kandinsky

~Dragonfly22 Aug 20, 2008 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

who was he?

~Fleur-du-Soleil Aug 21, 2008

He was a painter who had a condition called synesthesia which meant when he heard loud noises, he saw colours and he painted what he saw. His paintings are very abstract and colourful and some of them have a similar layout to your picture.

You know, they say that he was such a neat painter, he could paint in a dinner suit and go out straight afterwards

Look him up! Wassily Kandinsky - I love his work

~Dragonfly22 Aug 22, 2008 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I looked him up! his artwork is very interesting and cheerful, I like that. plus, I love the whole abstract feeling... truly wonderful! thanks for the suggestion

~Fleur-du-Soleil Aug 23, 2008

Any time! I'm really glad you like him
