What is in a Rhapsody?

Rhapsody: A free instrumental composition, typically one that is emotional in character.


 


Although you can't quite call paintings "musical" in any respect - the lines of this piece have a flowing quality that is reminiscent more of sound than of artistic composition.
It's hard to name a painting, since they are often like children to their creators, but unlike children - the finished piece is more defined than that of a small child whose path in life has yet to be decided.

Rhapsody is now on the list of my SOLD pieces of artwork - but it continues to be a popular piece of art, getting more hits in this category than any of the other pieces I have listed there. And wouldn't you like to know why? I sure would. Art on some level touches the emotion of viewer, it's like a bridge between the artist and his (or in this case, her) audience. Perhaps there is no more information other than that.

While a simple statement - it is obvious that the thought process is much more difficult to pin down to one or two sentences. Time to paint....
