Living Paintings….
Written by Jimmy
Here’s a wonderful set of videos of paintings being made… enjoy.
Part one: Let’s set up the music
Before looking at this, I would recommend you listen to this music, and mute the sound tracks of the painting themselves. The visuals are cool, the audio isn’t. So, to get us in the mood, listen to these two tracks while watching:
A. Vincent: Stunning Song and wonderful videos of his works…
B. Writing, Elton John. I couldn’t find a ‘painting song’ and this is one of the great lost gems…
Part Two: A Collection of Living Paintings
Now let’s explore some of the paintings – there’s about 20 of these on youtube, and I’ve just picked the beginning collection. If you like them, search for living paintings…
1. Winter’s Dance
2. Mates
3. Snow
4. Train
Part Three: Let’s Remind Ourselves of Hunter’s First Big Video Hit
Before doing the Mah Knees video, Hunter got almost 200,000 hits on youtube for this – a video of him drawing a Fight Club Poster on his computer… and listen to his soundtrack – the kid has taste.
Oh heck, here’s Mah Knees again if you missed it:
That’s it.

Jimmy, Louise and gang thought this feature was great, love theLiving Paintings stuff. I sit on the Trustee Board of a charity called Living Paintings Trust – we do amazing work with blind and visually impaired adults and children bringing images from the sighted world to life for them through a combination of sight and sound packs (loads more info on our web-site http://www.livingpaintings.org – worth a look). got me thinking if there might be something here in terms of possible collaboration so I’m sending the newsletter to Camilla Oldland – charity director and see if she gets inspired! (she’s also big into music…). Cheers, Stuart
