Simple Gifts by Joseph Brackett
‘Tis the gift to be simple
‘tis the gift to be free...
What a gift: to create music that can inspire tears of joy. I love Appalachian Spring and each time I hear it I wait for this melody. It is simple and pure and universal pleasure.
These squares are my attempt to paint a response.
I really like these and your inspiration for them. They are simple, elegant and joyful. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the music too. Your paintings are delightful and a nice depiction of what I hear.
