Astral Riffs was an idea inspired by listening to a progressive rock / djent artist, Plini. "I'll tell you someday" is the specific song that was on repeat the most while this painting was being created. I usually paint with music in the background as I work, because it helps get the creative juices flowing. For me, finding really great music to play while I create art definitely has a big impact on imaginative thinking and helps get me into a flow state while I work. To date, this is one of my favorite songs to listen to while painting, taking a cruise in the car, or even while running & exercising. Because music has been such a strong influence in the creation of this painting, I've also put together a time-lapse video that shows the creation of this painting from start to finish, with Plini's song in the background.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
