Adagio
(18" x 24", oil on canvas)

Although I grew up on a steady diet of rock music, classical is all that I play in the studio. Classical music seems to slow my heart rate and allows me long periods of concentration, so instead of singing along with Freddy Mercury I devote all my attention to the canvas. The name of this painting comes from a recent personal favourite, Adagio en sol mineur by Tomaso Albinoni. Adagio, meaning "a tempo having slow movement; restful at ease", seemed the perfect title for this quiet piece.
