I am a chromesthete which means I see a vast array of real colors in my mind when I listen to music. I like to think of it as my own personal light show. My goal for each portrait is to let you glimpse music and musicians the way I do. There is a kinship between color and music – both can say what words can not.

I paint in shadowed hues using the grisaille technique. After sketching out my musician in a grayscale underpainting, I add opaque and translucent acrylic colors according to what I see when I listen to their music. They come together like puzzle pieces on my canvas. I DO NOT use editing software or trace my portraits. They are hand drawn according to their highlights and shadows.

I began painting for others in 2017 as an outlet to share all the mesmerizing colors I see. While I can remember the lyrics to almost any song I’ve ever heard, I am most fascinated by the people who pen them.

My 10+ years as a journalist and graphic artist left me with a great understanding of design principles as they relate to color.

I think Wassily Kandinsky said it best: “Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting and … stop thinking. Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to walk about into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?”

Join the University of Tennessee Arboretum Society for our First Thursday Nature Supper Club on Thursday, November 4th, 7:00 p.m. EDT to learn about our over-wintering waterfowl. With all of our many lakes, East Tennessee attracts an array of waterfowl that are only here during the colder months.

You provide your own stay-at-home supper, and we provide the nature as local naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales will entertain and teach us via Zoom. In this program you’ll learn about a bevy of birds like coots, grebes, gadwalls, buffleheads, mergansers, redheads, little ruddies and many more fun dabblers and divers that can be found floating on our wintertime waters.

Please register for this free Zoom Program at www.utarboretumsociety.org. This program will be recorded, and closed captioning is available. Please contact Michelle Campanis at mcampani@utk.edu with any questions or registration issues.

To contact Stephen Lyn Bales or buy one of his UT Press books, email him at hellostephenlyn@yahoo.com

Author and playwright Thomas Atkinson shares how he finds characters (or they find him), and how to make quirky characters from the fringes of society more fully realized. He’ll discuss the genesis of characters from his novel TIKI MAN and the evolution of minor character Tampon John from joke to supporting cast.

Thomas M. Atkinson is a writer and playwright from southern Ohio. His fiction and drama have received numerous awards, including five Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Awards and a Samuel French Off Off Broadway Festival winning short play, Dancing Turtle. His second novel, Tiki Man, will be published by Regal House Publishing fall of 2021. His short stories have been anthologized in the US, UK, and Ireland, and have appeared in The Sun, December, Southern Indiana Review, North American Review, Tampa Review, Madison Review, Fifth Wednesday, Indiana Review and others. Strobe Life was his first novel.

Change up your Thursday routine and check out Art Club at CFS! We've arranged a graffiti spray paint workshop, an art show featuring various local artists, and a coloring contest for the kids!
The workshop with local mural artist, Shaun Ridge, will be free to attend, but we are asking for a $5 donation to try your hand at spray painting with professional paint.
