Exploring how musical terminology can enhance our visual experience.
Can a painting be described as a Rhapsody? In music the term is used to describe something irregular in form, an improvisation. So, yes.  If George Gershwin can use the colour blue to describe his rhythmic jazzy ‘Rhapsody’ then ‘Rhapsody in Green’ can be used to describe my painting of barleycorn blowing in the wind.
