Paintings in My Mind is the second full-length studio release (third, if the "Republic of Idols" EP is counted) from pianist and singer-songwriter Tommy Page. Released in 1990, it features 10 tracks, all of which Page either wrote by himself or co-wrote. The single "I'll Be Your Everything" was co-written by Page, Jordan Knight, and Danny Wood; it became a smash hit in 1990, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Another New Kids on the Block alumnus, Donnie Wahlberg, contributed to the writing of the song "Turn on the Radio" (the second single). The album also features a duet with singer Sa-Fire on the song "Don't Give Up on Love."
