Anyone else a movie buff? I definitely am. Specifically science fiction, like the true nerd I am. One thing I've always loved about movies is the music. A great composition can make an emotional moment so much more impactful. It can move you to feel so much, I love the power of music! So of course, when I hear a song that makes me feel all the feels, I go searching for it.
This was the case while watching the film, A Quiet Place. There was a particular piece of music throughout that I just couldn't get out of my head.
It's name is "A Quiet Life" by Marco Beltrami and it is sooo beautiful.

Ask anyone in my life and they'll tell you how important music is to me. I listen to it while working, eating, exercising, relaxing - you get the idea. It plays a MAJOR role in my painting process. Actually, thinking about it now, I can't ever recall painting without any accompanying music. Music often inspires me so much that I imagine what a song could look like visually. So that's what happened with "A Quiet Life" - I heard it and just had to translate it visually. How did I do?
See images of the resulting painting below along with a behind the scenes look at the process.
