This morning I picked Dilek, with her inspiration under rain, where she felt free and happy, as she shared. And she shared some song lyrics, from Leonard Cohen’s song, Anthem
“ring the bells that still can ringforget your perfect offeringThere is a crack in everythingThat’s how the light gets in”
I listened to the song and started sketching and painting on paper. I couldn’t do it, as hard as I tried, I just couldn’t transport that happiness. After quite a while I decided to give it a break, as I got quite tensed, which definitely isn’t the state to transport happiness! In this break, I “find” myself continuing to paint on a piece of wood, which was lying around…and then there it was. a feeling of happiness!
… so I continued on the wood! Not polished, just I put some oil and in the end the structure served the rain very well :-).
When I searched for the song, I found the cover of the album “Future” – and parts of it made its way to the shirt.
Thank you, Dilek!
