What happens when visual artists depict how music feels or what it means to them? Can art express the nuances of music?
Imagine our delight when we learned that one of our favorite longtime guests, Frank M. from Groton Point, CT, had submitted a painting for the recent Art of Music exhibit at BIG ARTS. Frank, who has been coming to Ocean’s Reach since the 1970s(!), has been enchanting us for years with his artwork and this piece is no exception.
Beautifully painted in acrylics, Frank’s piece is entitled “A Day to Remember” and includes the following charming lyrics to a song he wrote in 1998, dedicated to his lovely bride, Cynthia:
To sail, under bright blue summer skies, sending spray across the sea,
with my love close by my side,
tis a thrill that only love can bring,
as we glide down with the ebbing tide to the cove that sparkles in our mystic isle.
Then we will swim, then we will dine, then we will sun and watch clouds drift by.
Then we will embrace, as sun starts to set.
A day to remember all of our lives!
