ARTIST NOTES:

Wow. I thought I'd never complete this! It's not that the painting itself was such hard work, but I only had an hour or 2 each evening to paint, and the video editing program I used for this was different from my previous program on my old laptop that crashed on me! So basically, I had to re-learn a new program in order to bring this to you. Also, because warner music group is now an affiliate of You Tube, I had to request song submissions from musicians until I found something I could vibe with. The song you are hearing was selected from a list of submitted songs. Congrats to the chosen band!

@sampsoncash Probably because I'm one of the first, if not the first black woman doing time lapse oil painting video's as a full production. Fella Kuti is remarkable. I will check out the channel you suggested asap. :-) Thank you for everything. Stay in touch. I have new one's coming soon enough.

Absolutely amazing creation. Her holding the heart in her hand spoke volumes. I really liked this painting Queen.

Hi sis! glad to see you here, but you're comment posted on the wrong video. I think this comment is for "When We play".

Now who could be gloomy looking at that? Very cool as usual, my dear.

[CandyAcidReign]

awe, that's sweet. You know, that's actually a big part of this painting. Such sad, yet hopeful eyes, combined with this fun vibe, enjoyment of what is...regardless. Making the most of it all, yet not being untouched by life's hardships. I'd imagine she is coming out of a deep sadness and attempting to manifest her own happiness, and even display it for others as a testiment.

Another beautiful painting. The following is just a feeling I got from watching the painting. There's a good chance it's not grounded in anything, but it's just an impression. You can't really see any hair even though I suppose it could be hidden underneath. She reminded me of a patient I met undergoing Chemo. She was clearly going through a lot, but she always tried to remain upbeat and positve. I see a similar mix of vulnerability and hope in this painting.
