2022 Goal: July - Lighthouse

Just keep blogging, blogging, blogging….. even if it’s much belated.

July’s painting was inspired by the Oceans of Slumber song, “The Lighthouse”. Check out the song and video: Song Link.

This piece is hard to photograph because of the metallic colors, but it was so much fun to play with! The album Starlight and Ash by Oceans of Slumber has so much untouched inspiration for me; their last album is very much the same. When I pause and think about it, I am amazed at how much this band is inspiring my art. In fact, I have more of an update related that later.

For this piece, I again used tissue paper, and that’s the only media here besides acrylic paint. I wanted to keep this piece very simple, with the heart being small and quiet, but beaming out the light. I wouldn’t say this painting was rushed, it’s just the idea came so quickly. I even had to restart it because I jumped into it too soon. However, it all worked out in the end.
