These paintings are schematic and refer to the disposition of notes. In many ways they are like scores. There is a suggestion of staves in the horizontal lines on which the patches of colour, the notes, hang. I envisage orchestration, background singers and soloists, these latter are the solid colours up front, usually four or five in each painting. I constructed the paintings as I might arrange a musical work, paying attention to counterpoint, harmony and the spaces between that imply rhythm.
