      Yes Thanks! I do them and it's not easy to do :) If one wants to make them decent looking, too much color makes them look like spin art from a country fair :) I appreciate it Fields--very kind!

      @@johnnygraham4004 And both were musical geniuses, and colour made up a big part of Prince's musical pallette. AND apparantly they were both batshit crazy, in a good way, I don't think they hurt anybody. Captain Beefheart was also a songwriter and painter of the DeKooning style, and once again, pretty batshit crazy.

    It's hard to believe that stunningly good looking slim young man was the same pudgy balding gent that wandered around alone in Cambridge with his hanging down looking grumpy. What happened to Syd was really quite sad.

      I am a fan of Eva Cassidy for that reason, Syd's female counterpart. She made fascinating professional artwork from an early age, and she is world famous for her song covers that are better than the original. Her voice was pure and beautiful, also true for Syd's voice. Would have been great if Syd had met Eva, they had so much in common.

      ​@@alexmalch If that is true, then nobody would know Syd. A musician, composer of superb pop songs, and a great singer. His voice was much better than the voices of the other floyd members. Syd left us very good guitar solos as well (but not as stunning as David Gilmour's solos). His paintings did not make him famous, unfortunately.

      Yes I agree, I think he was a very competent artist but chances are he would not have made a mark and as time went on, he did less work and didn't finish many. He also took photos of his (much) later work and burned a large number of them.

      @@koenraad4618 His songs were more artistic than musical in my opinion, if that even makes sense. His style of playing guitar wasn’t great on the level of Clapton or Hendrix, but his guitar playing was really innovative and artistic. Even in music he wasn’t a musician but an artist. I hope it makes sense
