Title: Not Recorded for a while.
Post by: Groundy on May 29, 2018, 11:48:03 PM
I have not recorded anything for a While, A few months ago I got a sudden interest in Art and decided to give it a go, at the moment I just spend time trying to improve, I am sure it will wear off soon, I still like to listen to the music each morning,
Here are my first ever Paintings, As you can see I am sure it won't last long. ;D

Fine job, Alex! Keep up the good work!!

I think you definitely have a flair for art there Alex. I would keep pursuing that if I were you. But not at the total expense of the music! ;D ;D

I used to paint a little many years a go and hope to get back to in the future too. For the moment i hardly even have time to make any music tho  :-[ :-[

Good efforts, there's definitely potential there. You may find this helps you spark new musical ideas. Always good to have different interests.

I like it! Always good to develop the creative muscles, no matter the format. This is something I'd like to try one day, too.

..exactly like me  ...
at one time (I was still working) I spent all my hobbies with watercolor ... more time to make music!
and it's true that it's hard to do both music and painting at the same time
.... and I hope that soon you will come back to us to do some piece of music
I'm looking for a song and I propose to sing it your voice is too fomidable

see the bump, dear friends in cover song today

PS for you Alex, in attachment  a watercolor by JP i (it's the barn in front of my house in the country, before the storm  ;)),

Groundy - I've said many times that the most important aspect is simply to be creative. And it doesn't truly matter your medium. I think your paintings are good. I feel like that girl some days. It describes it perfectly. So do what you feel is right and I'm more than positive we'll all be supportive. And please continue to share.

JP - That watercolor painting is good. I liked it. It's good to see what interests we have outside of music.

I'm impressed Alex! I used to sketch a little but painting with water colors requires a totally different skill. Creativeness is creativeness no matter the medium. Keep at it  and follow the muse my friend.

Nice one, Alex. And keep it up! I've painted and drawn since I was kid, and I like how I can still turn to it when the musical muse isn't inspired and vice-versa. Also, I've had many ideas that turn out as both a song and a piece of art. I find it helps lyrically to think visually.

Songcrafters is a multi-talented place!

I don't come to the general board very often, but the art is fantastic Alex.
I will say that I hope to hear your music soon as I always loved your voice. When you are ready, though. Being happy personally is the main thing, no need for pressure from others.
Beautiful work!
