New video is up!
This time I’m singing and painting Emily Dickinson’s poem “The Moon”.
The artwork is created in Rebelle 7 Pro and is inspired by these two vintage illustrations:
“The universal favorite” (1889) by Geo. H. Walker & Co
“Spring Scattering Stars” (1927) by Edwin Blashfield

New poem set to music is up!
"Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind" by William Shakespeare.
Many of the musical settings I've heard for this poem are a bit melancholic. I think the speaker has a positive outlook on life despite singing about being hurt by fellow humans so my version is more upbeat.

Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow...
Poem written by Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) in memory of his younger sister who died aged 9. It seems like he never got over her death.
The artwork is a detail from an illustration called “Two women in the snow on Yanagi Bridge” by the Japanese artist Ohara Koson (1877-1945).

New video of me playing one of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s most famous poems is up. This poem “Music when Soft Voices Die” describes how the memories of our loved ones live on even after they are gone. The poem was published two years after Shelley’s death, in 1824, and we don’t know if it’s a finished piece or if he intended to rework it.
The artwork is a vintage illustration called “Music fills the soul with joy” published by L.Prang & Co.
