JOURNEY OF A DIFFERENT KIND

Michele Andree LemieuxTry to imagine for a moment, if you will, a world without art…

I’m talking no music, no dance, no songs, no paint, no…nothing.

The image that comes to mind is… mechanical…is… never mind, I would change planets.

My name is Michele Andree.  I am an artist, I paint musicians in action.  I think I’m a musician at heart, my instrument being… a brush, so I play…brush and I paint… music.

I love jazz.  I call it freedom music.  It promotes special values.  I love intelligent people andMy man Miles1 good conversations.

Some people ask me how music relates to art.  Personally I find they go hand in hand.   Music is what turns me on to painting.  It makes me see colours.  For example, the music I listen to these days makes me see orange and it comes out in my paintings.  I have many friends who are musicians and they inspire me.  After one of their shows or after a private jam session, I’m so hyped up, my energy is on high and the urge to paint is irresistible.  People always tell me my eyes start glowing.  I select the music that fits the mood, put my headphones on and get into the groove.  The rhythm brings me into a “zone” and helps me fuse with the musicians until I feel I am the music.   As if I am walking with the musician’s spirit.  It is the most incredible high anyone can hope to experience.

It becomes a state of deep meditation.   I lose all notion of time, space… I just am.

JacoI have found so many answers to so many questions in this state.

I mean…it is as if suddenly my understanding of things comes from the essence…as if I am the essence of things looking out, from the inside out…and yet I’m really just painting and enjoying the music.

I am grateful to all artists of all disciplines.  I can never take them for granted.  I find they are the ones who remind us that we are so much more than we give ourselves credit for.

This blog is the beginning of something very special and amazing and wonderful that will journey through music, art, comedy, consciousness, spirituality, food for thought, food for the body, food for the soul!

I think I’ll call it a work of art in progress.  Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts, add their color and participate in the whole creative process of this mHPIM0971 Eye on Viasterpiece.  So let it begin!

Enjoy…

Au revoir,

Michele Andree.!
