Original painting - 'Reaching out'

'Reaching out'
 
Acrylic on canvas

“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”

~ Vera Nazarian
 
This is one of three paintings that I’ve painted listening solely to TOOL’s Fear Inoculum. I always paint to music and I love the idea that art feeds art. When I’m listening to music, I feel it on a soul level and having waited 13 years for the new TOOL album I knew that I had to paint to it. Two 20x30 and one 48x36 inch painting.
 
This painting does not come framed, its a big ol' beast and can be hung easily by attaching hanging hooks
