Description I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away

- "More Than a Feeling" by Boston
(listen here: [link] )

----------------------

Just can't go wrong with Boston!
Who doesn't love music?
To me, art and music go hand in hand

This is what I call an "Insomniac painting"
Done at 4 in the morning (insomnias the reason I gave watercolor a chance in the first place. It's how I get myself to sleep)

Paper was a !@#$% to work with though. This is some real sheet music I used, some old stuff from middle school orchestra, a 50's rock song I think. So it was flimsy and buckling like crazy, and made those awful lines and crinkles up and down it... grrr... oh well.......

Experimenting on using stuff that isn't, well, plain white paper. Book pages. Sheet music. Coffee staining stuff. Newspaper. Fun fun fun....

Art c) me

I really like the idea and I think the crinkles add a lot to the artwork. Great job!
