It has been raining here for the past four days and it was time to paint.  I couldn't go outside to walk so I decided to demonstrate how I started an abstract.  As this painting progressed, I soon realized my internal thoughts about walking in the rain began to appear on the paper.  I used to walk in the rain and listen to music as I walked along.  Today, I just listened to "Pandora" and splashed away on paper.

I love music and it has appeared in my abstract paintings in one way or another.  I listen to music when I paint and whether the music is contemporary, easy listening or country or whatever; the music is turned on and a symbol or an instrument appears.  It is not an intentional stroke of the brush.
