The music drives my every single brush stroke. No conscious strokes hit the canvas. The only conscious act is the choice of music and colour.
Message
Inspired by the song Sweetest Taboo by Sade
The "Sweetest Taboo" is the height of sexual pleasure. In this song, Sade sings lovingly about a man who gets her there. With him, every day is Christmas, every night is New Year's Eve. To paint this piece I listened to Is it a Crime, Sweetest Taboo and Never as Good as the first time from the album Promise released in 1985. The power of Nostalgia was strong for me on this one because I was 15 when this hit the radio waves.
