Feeling Good – SOLD – Prints Available

Nina Simone, Michael Bublé, and Muse have made the song titled “Feeling Good” a popular one throughout the decades.

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good
I’m feeling good

Art and Feeling Good

While in my studio, listening as Michael Bublé sings this song “Feeling Good”, I realize it conveys my mood. In fact, most of January had me preoccupied with all kinds of activities (cleaning out and reorganizing storage areas, getting rid of junk, year-end paperwork, refreshing my home), but none of these had me in my studio painting.

After some time away, I was happy to be amongst my paints, canvases and creating new art. Indeed, I was working on this particular painting when I heard the song titled “Feeling Good”. As I listened to the lyrics, I couldn’t help thinking it was describing my current state of mind – free, alive, and just feeling good.

In fact, “Feeling Good” (also known as “Feelin’ Good”) is a song written by English composers Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd. Additionally, it was first performed on stage in 1964 by Cy Grant on the UK tour and by Gilbert Price in 1965 with the original Broadway cast.

FEELING GOOD – Michael Bublé, Muse, Nina Simone

Today, Nina Simone’s 1965 cover is known as a staple, and many different electronic and hip-hop artists’ projects sample it. Additionally, if you want to listen to Nina sang the song click this link: Nina Simone – You Tube

For, the song has been a highlight of background music in numerous TV and film media series including Six Feet Under, Scandal, and Point of No Return.

Even, notable artists like George Michael and Michael Bublé have covered the classic; but modern rock band Muse won the title of one of the top ten best cover songs in the world with their own emotional take.

Now, 2020 has brought me a new life, a new day to my everyday world. As I returned to my passion for creating abstracts, this oil abstract represents that I am Feeling Good about my current and future state.
