Blue Secrets


This is my piece for Mixed Media Monday. I know it seems a little morbid...maybe its because I got a cold this weekend and I'm slightly grumpy! This is for my secrets journal I've been working on. I've got "secrets" stuck in my creative loop I think! Actually it's a song I heard called "Secrets"...it's by a band called Pierce. Whatever happened to solid names like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin...oh never mind :) I guess it's all perspective, right? I'm putting a link to the video here just in case you want to hear it. Steve is entirely over me wandering around the house this weekend singing this song. Especially since I have this cold. I'm sure I sound like a cat caught in a tree. LOL!

Wow, Nan, I think you should get this awesome work to The Pierces so that they can see it...It is beautiful and really fits the song...If they see your work, they might want to commission you to do their next CD cover...Just a thought because your work is amazing!!!

I also want to say that the colors are gorgeous too...blended so perfectly!
Hugs,
Cindy
