Shipbuilding

Here’s my most recent painting. It is a continuation on my song and lyrics theme. I was inspired by Elvis Costello’s “Shipbuilding.” It’s one of my favorite songs – beautiful lyrics and music. The Chet Baker trumpet part gets me every time.

The song is about the contradiction of war – that it brings “prosperity” and loss to the communities dependent on war income.  It’s a diabolical relationship.

“With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls”

-Elvis Costello, Shipbuilding

I am doing the final touches to get ready for the ArtWalk festival in Livermore tomorrow! The weather will be sunny and warm. If you are in the area, please stop by my booth (near the Bankhead). It’s a fun festival – great art to see and buy, music and beer tasting! All of my favorite things.

3 Heart Pins – 12 x 12 acrylic painting

Well, here’s the next painting in my sewing series. I just love these heart pins. What a sweet way to add your love to a sewing project!

I chose red, blue and yellow as a tribute to the primary colors. They are the root to all other hues.
