Things have been busy lately, but I decided it would be good to make some art this weekend.
You can see the swirls are traced in Korean lyrics, a shoutout to my new side hobby. As an adult, there are things I thought I wasn't good at or interested in that I have changed my opinion on. Learning a language is one of them. Apparently, my memory is not as bad as I thought, and I like the intuition required to understand the spirit of words.
Swirls are usually easy, but they were difficult here because of the large space I had to fill. The final result is acceptable, but not as organic as I'd like.
I have a friend who is learning Korean like I am, and we agree that it is a particularly fun and interesting language. The writing is nicely uniform and, as with other languages, it's insightful to learn how cultural norms are imprinted into grammatical structure.
Okay. With only the swirls on the canvas, I was dismayed that it was feeling unoriginal, looking suspiciously like Chinese Bible tracts I saw around the house in the 90's.
So I brought in some Little Twin Star vibes, and somehow that saved the painting. Done!
"Blossom". The yellow bits are warm metallic gold in person.
