So I took a little break but finally painted my first piece of 2017 which was inspired by listening to some sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti by way of a couple of CD’s gifted to me from my good friend, Bill.
The piece is called: “Scarlatti Discovers A New Key“. To me it signifies discovery and wonderment as I enjoyed listening to the sonatas for the first time. I hope that 2017 will be the same for all.
Let me know what you think…

An atypical work and yet bold and amazing as usual. I love the colors and the unusual details. I’m confident that Scarlatti would approve if he were able to see it today!
Thanks Bill and thanks for introducing me to Scarlatti. Maybe more will come from listening to him 🙂
Beautiful movement and imagery!
I am thoroughly addicted to D. Scarlatti. I listen to the sonatas through the night as I sleep. I’ve heard them hundreds of times and I still hear something new on each audition.
Alex’s’ “Scarlatti” is brilliant and phenomenal… I think that Scarlatti himself would approve!
