    The Circle of Fifths is a series of 12 paintings. In music, the circle of fifths refers to the progressive relationship between the twelve musical keys. Beginning with C, the next key in the circle, G, differs from C by only one note, and so on to D, A, E, etc., around the circle of all 12 keys, until you return to the key of C. In their creation, the paintings in the Circle of Fifths series mirrored this structure. Adjacent paintings in the series, created simultaneously, began with similar pal- ettes, features or techniques, before diverging and reaching their own, unique conclusion.
