Painting to Ravel

[PaulBartonPiano]

Ha! the painting is excellent!!! perfect combination of foreground, middle distance and the horizon hills. It went very well with the crescendo of Bolero too as your finished off the painting. Liked the wavy line water design

[Bflatblues55]

I'm so happy for you that you sold this exciting and classy piece ... Beautiful. I remember this well... have it in my faves and my daughter (the young artist/goddess) and I have enjoyed watching and listening on several occasions!

[mprovision]

So nice of you to say Carol. I'm glad you like it and I hope I can do some more for you in the near future. Makes one feel like art does matter in the world after all when one touches the young and aspiring out there.

[AcousticPhases]

BRAVISIMO, BRAVISIMO, I know I did not spell that right, but who cares, this was way AWESOME Lance.

Beautifully rendered and a lovely painting as well.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks for coming over into my painting world AP. Real glad you liked it.

[alrofril]

... I did not know painted.

I also paint, but are not good like you!

Ciao!!!

Alberto

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Alberto. I believe everyone can paint if they listen to their inner muse. We are all artists as children and then we listen to people who convince us we are not. I would like to see some of your work. Ciao!

[archtopbrownie]

thank you Frank. :o)

Hi Lance,

5*;-)

Great Painting;-)

Love and Hugs from LaReinaWilleke

[archtopbrownie]

So kind. Thanks.

[ForOlTimesSake]

oh i love Bolero du Ravel....yea...i think you've practiced a lot of plain air peinture...hm???

[archtopbrownie]

Whoa... you know art. Makes the nice things you've said even better. Thanks.

[GibsonAndVega]

The scale of the scene in the painting goes well with the bigness of the music. Is this a scene from memory or all imagination? Thanks for the excuse to listen to this great music again. A good piece for play-testing flutes--if you can get that low C, you know it's not leaking.

[archtopbrownie]

All imagination Les. I love improvisation and this was done just letting the painting tell me what it needed next. Funny point about the flute testing. You are a wealth of obscure information. Take care and thanks for looking around my channel so much. I appreciate it.

[nikoman44]

As I watched this, my thoughts drifted between Bo Derek in bed with Dudley Moore, and the foothills of the Dolomites, outside of Venice. And I thought you were just another gifted musician. What's next, time laps video of you performing a vasectomy on yourself to the music of Great Balls of Fire?

[archtopbrownie]

LOL Lou. No, the boat has sailed on the vasectomy but your suggestion does have great theatrical value. Thanks for sharing your inner thoughts.... you're at least as strange as I am 'o)

[MaxFillio]

Oh that was wonderful! Your painting is very cake like. It was very sweet and melted in my senses. Then when it zoomed up at the end, it was great to see the those flowers in detail. That could've been another painting in itself. And of course the music went along great with it.

5 stars and faved.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Max. The cake like image is really a nice one. Glad you have an eye for such things. Thanks for the learned comment.

[theerion]

enjoyed the painting! early in its development, had you stopped, i would've suggested "hanging gardens of lance brown" as a working title

this music reminds me of so many things, including that weirdly peaceful scene in Conan the Barbarian before the statue turns into a giant flesh eating rhinoceros

[archtopbrownie]

Yes, that was a moving scene. Almost as moving as when Arnold as the Terminator went under the molten metal giving a final thumbs up. LOL Your last paragraph truly cracks me up. That made my day.. thanks.

[PatongTed]

This was amazing to watch Lance! When you panned out on the finished piece at the end, I noticed details I did not witness at first. WOW! Thanks for sharing your talents with me. I appreciate it immensely! Peace!~Ted

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks for the very positive connection and taking the time to look at so many of my videos.

[FretFumbler]

Lance ,  Great the only problem was your fingers moved so quickly and I couldn't follow all of it

So I'll ask the standard question -Would you have the tab to that - LOL

[archtopbrownie]

A good Sunday morning to you FF. The answer to your question is this: The last time I did this I threw my shoulder out. So I must warn you not to try it without medical supervision. In fact, before I can send you the tab I will need a note from your doctor. I'm sorry, but I am doing this under the advice of my legal department. Can you imagine my overhead with all these doctors and lawyers on board? 'o)

[londonpenda]

Excellent work Lance.

I liked the close up of your painting, seeing the shadows of the trees, then panning out to the whole painting.

And with Ravel's 'Bolero' as backing. Class:)

Magical.

10x10*z

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Ray. Sometimes these improvs are more successful than others. Some I haven't gotten on tape in which the end product comes out better. I'm satisfied with this except for some the foreground. It just could have been a little sharper in contrast with the distant stuff. But I try to keep the painting time under an hour. Anyway I appreciate your liking it and saying so. I'll get better with practice.. and yes, Ravel is powerful stuff for sure.

[tps607]

It's a "10" *****

[archtopbrownie]

I'll save those 5 extra stars Tom... I may need them on the next video.

[theerion]

Hhaa, good one!

[Dharmadejavu]

Very nice

[MaryAsinger]

Is this ur backyard?? haha lol

Great job man...love it!

5/5

[archtopbrownie]

Yes Mary. You've heard of the Canyons of your mind. Well this is the backyard of my mind. :o) Thanks for dropping in on me. I appreciate you're ongoing support.

[MaryAsinger]

Ur welcome

You rock!

[archtopbrownie]

FC - As always I appreciate you dropping by and your warm comments. Thanks.

[fingercheese]

Well I've heard Becks Bolero...Now I've heard

Ravel's olero....Reminds me of a march to....somewhere....I mean... If I were to close my eyes and let it take me there...Purple Mountains Majesty are good too though...wonderfully creative work lance...you are a true innovator...at least on the tube...

[footprints6837]

Wow beautiful work as always... :)

5 stars

Leslie~

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks for the ongoing support Leslie.

[Riverman1971]

stunning work sir. 5*

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks for the stars and the comment Riverman.

[duckscli]

Very beautiful indeed.

-Duncan.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Duncan. Glad you liked it.

[bigbeninjax]

A really good job, Lance. Of course, if you had flipped it over at the end and it was a picture of Bo Derek, I would have been really impressed! Oh well, I'll just have to appreciate art for art's sake. So what else do you like to do to Bolero???

[archtopbrownie]

How old is Bo Derek these days? And as to your other question.... none of your business. 'o)

[blooeye]

well done, i'd like to do a time lapse of a painting some time, but it usually takes me a few sessions for me to finish.

It would be cool to see you paint to different genres of music and compare them to each other, ie. paint while listening to heavy metal and compare the painting with one done while listening to classical music, and see if there is any difference in your technique and application.

great job Lance

*****

[archtopbrownie]

Good suggestion blooeye. I want to do some to free improv jazz. I do have an event set up to paint to a local rock band at a charity event here in Chicago in April. Hope to get video. Thanks.

[TrickyDicks]

That was cool to watch, thanks for sharing this. :)

[archtopbrownie]

You're welcome Tricky. :o)

[AandCxProductions]

wow your good. How long did this take.

[archtopbrownie]

About an hour and 10 minutes. Trying to get it under an hour for doing it on stage. Thanks for the visit.

[seniorsite]

Bravo Lance this is my favourite:-)

[archtopbrownie]

Hey, I'm happy about that. I'll have to work on bettering it next time. Thanks.

[pvail06]

Well Lance ,you certainly are a man of many talents.

Peter.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Peter. I'm very lucky in life ...and it is all done with trick photography. 'o) That's my stunt double you see on the screen.

[artgirlsreality]

WOW Lance I pretty floored you just had no drawing first and plunged right in!! WOW BRAVO my friend.This was so cool watch. And all done in less than 8 mins...speed paint my word. I loved watching you put all the finishing touches too. It is fun to see the forground and the background come into play....good stuff!! Hugs, Meg

[archtopbrownie]

Such a compliment from an artist of your caliber is a real treat Meg. You can drop in any time. :o)

[guitarrox]

Well I cranked up the sound and enjoyed Ravels work is brilliant as is your art! Lance that turned out so nice ! i love watching these vids for the end result its always a work of art in you hands! thanx alot bud you paint em ill watch em 5 stars my fiend Superb

[archtopbrownie]

Cool Rox. Isn't that powerful music. I don't know how anyone couldn't be moved by it. Thanks for the encouragement.

[EdMuirton]

Beautiful and very entertaining! Cheers Lance!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Ed.

[cartoonage]

very good artistry, Lance. It looks so easy. but it isn´t, as I know ;-)

[archtopbrownie]

You are a source of inspiration to me Elie. Thanks for dropping in so often. We will have to meet some day.

[Erphilfarry]

So impressive again, and I like the song a lot. Awesome

Phil

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Phil.

[Southernmom1983]

The inspiration of the music is evident in the movement in your paintings. They seem almost alive & in motion....kind of a Van Gogh-ish quality to them. I appreciate that you're not afraid to leave some of the background canvas to peek through, making the painting almost sparkle with light which I think also adds a freshness & liveliness to it. I enjoy your videos & paintings very much! :-)

[archtopbrownie]

What a nice and learned comment. And to be mentioned in the same breath as Vincent... well, how sweet it is. Thanks so much.

[ribbitribbitfrog]

Wow,Lance.When you said painting to "Bolero" I did not expect that!Fantastic.Isn't it amazing how differently things can inspire us?I have painted to heavy metal amongst many others.I am in awe of how you have your colours mixed so well.If I were to record myself painting it would contain hours of colour mixing.You do it with such ease!Very talented to say the least.

I can't wait to get back to painting.Due to an injury I am unable to do so now and am longing to return to it.

5*****

AWESOME ART

[archtopbrownie]

Get back to it as soon as possible so I can see what you're doing. Love to see some heavy metal art work. I try to keep my brushes clean and lean toward primaries and secondaries being careful with neutrals. I like bright colors and sometimes err toward too bright in an effort to avoid muddiness. It's a balance. Thanks for the cool comment Ribbit.

[ruotze]

i can see Napoleons armies marching across the remains of the Austro-hungarian empire! The streets are lined with all the beauties of the day, waving their handkerchiefs and swoon.....yeah!

[archtopbrownie]

Glad Ravel and I were able to transport you Ross.

[suuzzee5]

Your art is beautiful! What a cool video... thanks for sharing this. Great music, too!

[archtopbrownie]

Many thanks suuzzee5.

[Jazzguts]

Interesting Lance, I was wondering does this beautiful music from Ravel inspire you in a way to do that painting, I mean if you didn't listen to that sound would it turn out different(maybe a little abstract question) I was just wondering. Nice work,looks like an Andalucian landscape,muy bueno Senor,Saludos Victor.

[archtopbrownie]

Victor - This one I played it over and over. I think the color choices might have been different to something by say, Wagner. But after the first time through I knew the painting had to be large in scope, panoramic. But at the same time there is detail in the music so at the end I bring the camera in to catch that. Could have been filmed better in that part. The trick is to get some measure of detail when you really only have an hour to paint it. Thanks for the great question my friend.

[Jazzguts]

Thanks for your detailed answer,somehow it reminds of Andalucia (Spain) but that's not so strange with this Music going along,something nice coming up for you(an own composition) greets Vic.

[RickyShades]

Awesome, just awesome man!  Luv'd Bolero track with it too! :)

*****

[archtopbrownie]

It just keeps building and building. Inspiring. Thanks RickyShades.

[Smokeater68]

Beautiful work Lance! Ravel the Rocker was an added bonus! Happy Easter Bro!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Smoke. It definitely is a cool piece of music.

[littlebitmore2]

Lance you are very gifted as an artist, singer, songwriter and musician. Sure do enjoy watching

your paintings come to life...along with great music.5* and lots of hugs

Happy Easter Dear Friend

Di

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Di. Easter was filled with love and good food and drink. Could ask for nothing more. Best to you.

[Ottawarocket]

Ravel the Rocker! Great music for sure and of course I always love to see you create your works of art..Right on Lance : )

Rob

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Rocket... glad you keep dropping by.

[SilverHamer]

Only one little three-letter word came to mind the whole time I was watching this..."WOW"! Mind-boggling! Super job, Lance! LC

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Sir. Thank you.

[chuckadave]

Wow,great painting.

Dave

[archtopbrownie]

Hey Dave, Thanks.

[Huffnhustle]

It seems 'valsartdiary' has some real competition *****

[archtopbrownie]

Val's great and if it were a competition... which it isn't... she would be a more than worthy opponent. But I get your drift. A very nice compliment and I appreciate it.

[daviemcf]

Excellent,Lance,it's great to see it all coming together,you're truly talented brother!

[archtopbrownie]

Love the blues you did for me Davie. What a treat. Thanks on this comment as well.

[timnlol]

Fantasmagorical!

[archtopbrownie]

... with superterrifical thanks.

[slowhand1954]

Lance, Execllent music, I love these pld classics as well as the rock, blues and jazz. You are a very skilled painter, thank you for sharing this as well. Happy Easter.

Peace,

Allen

[archtopbrownie]

A pleasure Allen. Thanks.

[cmsingerbill]

Wow That was great so much talent and really good music to go with your Art!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Bill. Glad you like my work. Hope this day is a great one for you. Filled with friends and good stuff.... like food for example.

[Boucrate]

Very impressive! You are a fine Artist for sure! I was for a while an auctioner for Painting in Direct happening. It reminded me the same type of energy then when I saw Artists creating their paintings in 1 hour and a half to the sound of impro Jazz. Great video, even if I,ve made an overdose of Ravel's Bolero a long time ago lol! Merci!

[archtopbrownie]

Hah! Thanks for the comment. The improv jazz thing is definitely on the horizon. I understand how you could OD on Bolero or any single piece of music for that matter. My wife's mom broke her brother's copy of it when they were kids. Just smashed it after about 1,000 plays. Go in peace and listen to some Bach. 'o)

[kaburto1966]

Beautiful music, lovely painting, fun process, a great way to start Sunday morning!

[archtopbrownie]

You got firsties on this one Kaburto. Thanks for taking a look. Glad to start off your Sunday on a good note.
