Mary Beth Brath Is Bound by F With Famous - Sharing Her Tribute To Paul Simon - The Painting Contains 24 Symbols Related To Simon's Career - The Scene Is Set In New York City


 
Paul Simon Tribute
36x48" Acrylic On Canvas
By Mary Beth Brath

 
Finding inspiration was not difficult. The difficult part was confining the ideas to one cohesive image. The scene is set in New York City.

The Dakota Building is shown as a silhouette for small framed canvases that depict the Grammy Awards, Questions For The Angels, The Gershwin Award, "God keeps his eye on us all" and "...all of the colors were black" from My Little Town, Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War with a background from I Do It For Your Love "the sky was yellow and the grass was grey", Under African Skies along with the tall drum that reminds me of the You Can Call Me Al video with Chevy Chase.

The next building is Madison Square Garden. Each panel depicts one of his albums. From left – “Paul Simon”, “There Goes Rythmin' Simon”, “Live Rythmin'”, “Still Crazy”, “One Trick Pony”, “Graceland”, “Rhythm of the Saints”, “You're The One”, “Surprise” and “So Beautiful”. “The Complete Collection” is on the main panel to show the present time, the next panel is grey with a few yellow stripes representing the collaboration with Sting. The last panel has the letters TBA.

Paul's guitar is floating in the river on a platform similar to the Statue of Liberty's platform. People are coming from across the river and into Central Park to attend a Neighborhood Concert. Notice the tiny dab of red paint in the middle of the stage to represent Paul's red ball cap.

Here’s To You Paul Simon!  -

Another F Series Poem Steven "Fritz" Weiss

Fritz

IN THE KEY OF F
In the key of F
Ever in Falsetto a softened response
Always melodious and smooth as velvet crème
In The Key of F
Descends the baritone responding in vocal timber
Low and cool
Viscous with plenty of reverb.
In the Key of F
A Piccatta of note-play strutting in apparent display
All in color that appears to be descending
Off - scale in sharp reflections
Denoted and almost out of control.
In the Key of F
A sonata belle fresh
In sequence an almost delicate repast of perfectly timed silence
In sequence the pause
In tension the vibrato
As it resonates enveloping in a simple embrace - sounding
At minimum compromised yet essentially complete in and of itself
A French Horn in spoken form - sounding
Implies balance and movement in time - sounding
Tonal sequence followed with a floral infusion - sounding
A multi - keyed fragrance
Informal
Yet Succulent
Still Sublime
In the Key of F

Bound By F

The Journey begins again as it always does flowing ebb and tide on-word
Fractured jettys lay to starboard
shards of  fractal dreams
founding colonies of the future in folded dreamscapes
The journey continues:
Flouncing in the fluted gusts
swinging north by northwest
Then hard to port a field dazzled by flying fish
Filling the parable blue on blue, swinging  betwixt sky and sea
A fraction that is equal in parts fantasy and fiction
The journey continues:
The flismy dance cluttered in free form, clouded in parlence free speaking
uniquely fluent, formal thought paths in frayed logic
Framed thought parts
Featured yet fixed in sequence
Foot Stomping
Foot Resting
Frenzied almost Frantic
Floorboards short of creaking
F Sharp in crescendo
Swinging and swaying
Then frequency almost alternating
Between when and forever
Forward to Flight  - then Free Form
