Thank you, Matthew, for posting that very insightful letter.

I can identify with the feel of the music's depths, movements, rushes and solemnity. It used to be that when I created, drew or painted I loved music in the background but found that my art was controlling me. I had to make a concious decision to control my art as best I could.

One of my choices in that pursuit was to abandon music while painting, especially a portrait. When 'art for art's sake' I will always have music as my companion.
