All That Jazz

Friday! Paint Party Time and I didn't think I'd make it, but a short post to link up with a group of fellow creatives! Come check it out if you like the link is in the resources page.

This has been a week of all that jazz! Music and art can be so interwoven. Especially in my house. At my house we all have our corners of creativity surrounding music and art. So while the Mr. is off playing music I got my own jazz going on! If you know me I love music, but can't carry a tune!


So I put one on paper! 

Happy Paint Party Friday & All that jazz~ 

This was created with pencil sketch first, paint, more paint, watercolor pencil, colored pencil, pencil and a touch pastels. I went back & surrounded the silver writing on the dotted journal page with black to make it pop! 

And a cool rendition Jazz metal of Adele singing Rolling In The Deep! Enjoy

"What we play is life." Louis Armstrong


Whose jazz art or music has influenced you?

    So very true - music and art are bound together. I paint very differently depending on what music I have playing. Love how you put the 2 together!

    This is such a fun 'jazzy' piece :) Love the compositions and cool colors. I love jazz...we did some collages a few years ago about Ella Fitzgerald and they turned out super cool..but that was before my blogging days. Maybe we should do it again! Enjoyed your post ~Scarlett
