The Drummer

When I listen to music, I'm immediately listening for the rhythm. I really can’t even focus on the words - I’m wondering what kind of lick the drummer is going to throw out next. If you watch, you'll notice that most any drummer is using his whole body, and he is so wrapped up in what he’s playing, that he’s not even worried about anything else in the world. He is enveloped by the drums. I wanted to convey the energy and stamina that it takes to be the battery behind a band, so this painting shows what it is like for me when I play: lots of reds, lots of yellows, and lots of movement.
