This series (for as long as I have the will) showcases my paintings. My office is and has been pretty bare for the past two years. I cannot afford the furniture I want, but I can afford canvases from Michaels. (Could I instead save that money and eventually get the furniture I want? Not without self-control :)

Here is a picture of Rosewood & Suede candle I got from Bath and Body Works.

I came home from work crying and also determined not to stare at a screen (before deciding to write this post). So after I showered and made tea, I started working on a painting. Today I’m gonna write about a different painting.

It is of the lyrics from Kye Kye’s song People:

They see my heart,

They keep away

I love Kye Kye and I love how the second line is difficult to see, just like when a person who “keep(s) away” from you is difficult to see. I assumed the paints I mixed together would be dark enough to slightly obscure the second line but light enough to allow the first line to be visible. Thankfully that risk paid off!

If you want to hear more about why I painted this piece, you can subscribe for $5 a month and get that post on Friday. Whether or not you do, I look forward to sharing another painting with you next week!
