*** Escaping the Blue ***

Life has many daunting downbeats and sometimes too consuming to help oneself out of a deep blue state of mind……But then there is music.

With a quality of calm, it casts quiet reflection upon the listener through its lyrical words and it resonates much of what one values or experiences in life.

There is a reason why music is much loved by the human race; it is one of our most readily available components of instant ratification in expressing the state of our current psyche.

It is an escape, a solace, a remedy to what ails one.

It is inspiration in life,in writing and in creating art.

It is our very own positive ally.

And so, once again I have found pleasurable company with a very old friend
who always has time to spare and gives a lift to my soul when it calls.

I recently found a new artist whose work I very much adore.
Besides her whimsical and multi faceted style in collage and color,
Wyanne Thompson’s knack in achieving a marriage of two art forms into one oversize mural is phenomenal!
I would say that inspiration is boundless and old cemeteries are one such stimulating place.
For Wyanne Thompson, her inspiration rose from a song and a place, a very quite place.

A fairytale yarn sung by Kate Nash, subliminally floating into the Florida artist’s mind,was magically transformed unto paper with paint and graduated into the world of the living.
I happened upon her youtube video of Mariella; a delight and surprise when I started to listen to the words of the song.
It is the way she creates her art that I really luv; it’s the way that I do.

Our surroundings are connected to us; we only have to look in macro.
This is quite interesting and I really enjoyed watching it. We live on a sphere surrounded by life which all derives from diverse sources. The unlike is what art and life is all about…uniqueness!
