For you I'd wait, 'til kingdom come

The song "Til Kingdom Come" by Colplay really speaks to me.  I decided to devote an entire canvas to the lyrics of the song.

I painting pieces of watercolor paper with different shades of blues, purples, and greens. I wanted it to look as if the words were pages of my soul. Then, I used a paint pen to write the lyrics on the painted paper. I tore the paper into pieces and glued it to the canvas. It took a LONG time, but it was very worth it.  It's a great addition to my bedroom.

Flower arrangements

I know the flowers are fake, but my bathroom was in definite need of some decoration.

Inspiration

Saw these at Z Gallerie. Will be making some things like these in the near future.

I carry your heart with me

I got these really expensive acrylic paints and they are really fun to glob up and make paintings more three-dimensional. I will be doing this a lot more now, because I love the way it looks. Here's something I made.

The words are supposed to be subtle, and it may be hard to see them, but it says: I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart. -E.E. Cummings.  Definitely one of my favorite quotes.

Hair by Lady Gaga

I was inspired to do this back before vacation (there is a post with the preliminary drawings), but I just finished today!  I'm thinking it needs a little more lyrics or something extra, but I'll let you decide. Leave advice or suggestions in the comment box. And be sure to check out the song if you haven't heard it before.

Just face, no hair yet.

 Some hair. It looks more red that it actually is. I think it's just the lighting.

And again, kind of red. This is the base coat before I added all the the dimension. I felt like a hair stylist mixing up shades of brown.

Here's the hair with added dimension. Now it's ready for some song lyrics.

Finished product ready to be hung up.

Finished product on the wall!

She likes to be by the window so she can get wind in her hair ;)
