I have been working on and dragging this painting around since about 1995, working on it here and there when I had time or a new element or color came to me.
I wish there was a more profound word for "WOW!!!" in the English language as when I scrolled down and saw the painting you did, I had an immediate reaction to it that went beyond "WOW!!!". It's so complex yet comes all together in an easy way to look at it, then look at it at a deeper level, and then deeper still at once seeing the magnificent details and the overall painting. I do wonder....do you listen to the music that originally inspired you to make those first sketch markings? Or/and? are you listening to it every time you work on it? You have to get it catalogued, varnished, and framed......it needs to be seen....that is unless it's only for your eyes only, but by golly geewhiz holy cow......it's a beauty and moves me very much.
Time...motion....beats.....pulse.....movement..... it's all there in your magnificent painting! Bravo!!

This painting is based on listening to early modernist music like Stravinsky, Copeland, Gershwin, Mussorgsky and those kind of guys
In the last few years I have been listening to a lot Minimalist and post minimalist music like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, John Adams, Hans Zimmer, etc https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/minimalism-album-guide
These paintings are responses to that type of music

I did a search on google images for "paintings by cecil touchon" to find an image and really there is a dizzying diversity of work for over the years.
Thanks Carlos!
