Musical Impressions

A guy with a guitar, a girl with a golden voice, a captive audience of dinner guests, relaxing in the living room while the chef prepares his second act in the kitchen.



A little bit of magic begins to happen.




The musicians radiate their love of making music together and the audience basks in the glow.





Lost in the colours of the hauntingly lovely sounds.




Toes tap in time.





Portrait of a guitarist and his muse.
"Romance is everything."





Photo Art Friday

I'm taking part in Bonnie's Photo Art Friday
This week she suggested using one of her free textures, if one felt like so doing.  Well, I felt like it and used  one she colourfully named "Delightfully Shocking" in the last two photos above.

Do stop by the Artistic Showcase over the weekend for a virtual stroll.

  4. Ah, gorgeous, but now I'm dying to hear it, as well as see it... guess I'll just have to imagine it, until you can get your sound link working again... :-)

    I'm sure it was heavenly...

    (as long as no one sat on one of those whoopee cushions :-)

    So no one was recording ???

  7. Very interesting and unique series of photos. I enjoyed reading the captions underneath. My favorite was the very last photo. I love the richness it has and can just imagine sitting by a warm fire listening to the sounds of the music.

  12. Loucia, wow...these are fabulous. Each one really sets the mood of the story perfectly or maybe it's the photos that inspire the story...either way perfect. I visited your other blog as well, love the Dragon Breath...and the Dumbo story.

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for you wonderful words.

    Bright blessings,
    Kathy

  14. Thanks for inviting us over for a warm & charming evening. Love all the photos (and the French text on the floor), but I think the one with the moving guitar is my fave.

  16. Oh my - you are so innately creative. These pieces are warm, sensual and so intimate. I felt truly invited in ...

    So happy you chose to share your talents with Photo Art Friday Lynne! Think this is the first time I have seen anyone publish images using that texture (I love it).

  21. Last picture is indeed amazing. Nearly able to be felt.

    Please have you all a good Sunday.

  22. I hadn't seen this before. They turned out beautifully with your tweeking and it was a delightful evening indeed.

  23. What immediately came to mind viewing the first three images was Dance of the Seven Veils. Warm, seductive, alluring. The romance of night music...

    And the last two, so ingenious!

    All are a triumph of both concept and execution...

  24. Robert,
    I am fond of that picture, myself.

    Shayla,
    Truly a special evening. I'm happy I got to meet you.

    Stickup,

  25. Wonderful, I love those abstract with delicious shades, very good.

  26. Was just taking a peek at their website, looks good, sadly my PC at work wouldn't play either the music or the video, will have to try again later from home... so now you know how I spend my lunch breaks...

    But gosh, how much pumpkin pie did you have to promise them to get them to come play ??? Do they live nearby or something, or did you fly them in for the evening from Montreal or Quebec or Vancouver ???

  27. Leovi,
    I am not surprised, but I am pleased, that you like the abstraction.

  28. Owen,
    There isn't a video, just the audio. Unless my PC won't play the video! And they've only posted one song, but it's a good one. They're local to Moncton. They were guests at that dinner party my friend hosted a few weeks ago. She invited various artist friends of hers, and these particular artists sang for their supper. It was a lovely moment...but it was only a moment, not a songfest. Now tell me, do you whip out the old guitar when supper guests come over? BTW, if you'd like to hear some more Adam Cohen, go here:

    just don't try it on your lunch hour. (I was listening to it at work today, ha ha!)
