12 August 2008, #11. "Winter, 1946" - 4m03s
This is the last piece in my "Paintings" series. Coincidentally, the painting for the first piece was also by Andrew Wyeth - I am pleased at the symmetry. I am also pleased at how this piece turned out. I found a very interesting motif and explored it thoroughly, but I don't find it belaboured. The piece does not settle into a standard key and avoids standard cadences. It is open, cold, and harsh.

WWII aftermath. Emotional isolation and the memory of death. Living amidst barrenness.
Andrew Wyeth is one of my favorite painters.
Did you know that he painted this image after the death of his father - who was killed in a train crossing accident near the location in the painting?
In your piano musings and wyeth's painting there is a sense of loss and the grey grief of barren winter.
