"Autumnal Ambience" by Michael Stricklin. (Acrylic on canvas.) Click the image to visit the artist's webpage.
Happy autumn to all you dwellers of the northern hemisphere! My song Autumn Waltz is a simple, folksy tune that I wrote for a Clothesline Project benefit concert. The inspiration for the song came from another waltz, Ashokan Farewell by composer and fiddler Jay Ungar, which is heard throughout the Ken Burns documentary "The Civil War".
Recently I visited the studio of my friend Michael Stricklin, an artist who paints in the style of abstract expressionism. I feel that there is a lot of music in Mike's work and was struck by his painting "Autumn Ambience" shown above. Music is also full of colors and shapes, much like this painting. I think it makes a wonderful pairing to listen to Autumn Waltz while viewing Mike's Autumn Ambience. Try it for yourself and see if you agree!
The track is featured on my album Summer Mood. On this one I am playing flute and piano.
