"Shine"

Shine is a 12x12 x 1.75 inch original mixed media painting on canvas. This painting is inspired by the 1994 song of the same title by Collective Soul.   Before painting each song, I close my eyes and listen to the music. Usually an image emerges that inspires me, and I try to capture it in paint. For this piece, I imagined a field of flowers shining in the sun and a beautiful, bright bird, shining in spirit! Mixed media include: sheet music from the song, tissue paper, book pages and handmade Nepalese paper and a fragment of a bookmark from my trip to India.

Signed & titled on reverse and fitted with wire to hang on the wall without a frame.

Here are some of the lyrics:
