I have chosen some of my favourite 20th Century paintings to go with this music.

It has two improvised ukulele parts. I obviously recorded the two parts separately. It is minimalist in character and is based on only two contrasting chords: Dm and Bbm. 

Apologies for the less than perfect recording quality. I shall try again.
