Nocturne is the second in my Music To My Eyes series. These works are inspired by a classical music form, and then by a particular piece of music in that form. The series’ first is an exception in that it was not inspired by a particular piece of music in an etude form, but by the general concept of an ABA etude.
This mosaic, Nocturne, was Inspired by Chopin's Nocturne in C# minor, Op. 27 No. 1.
In addition to the inspiration itself, a requirement of the series is that the primary aspect of the inspiration be expressed using mosaic gold in a grid format, aka opus regulatum.
Nocturne (2009) 17" x 25" | 43cm x 61cm. Mosaic gold in black, gray, and white, smalti, vitreous, granite. $850

Again, I have used the Artrooms app to stage my mosaic in a room. I was lucky to find a room setting that is wonderfully suited for my mosaic.
