Final painting

I started off pouring paint thru at tight..

Getting up momentum to help the circle motion

just adding more paint to get a feel for the action and paint

Acrylic is shiny to begin with but dries dull. I  like the wet shiny look

using my phone for quick ideas

I do like the freedom this brings and at the same time the control you have to enforce. Happy accidents you have to accept

The bird theme is one I've been thinking about lately for other topics.

graded unit complete

More of less done and in place. 

Couldn't take better pictures as no room to move in the classroom at this stage! will sort nest later as it was just to busy and felt hurried.

For my own garden of eden

Inside my diary I placed some of the flowers I'd like to take into my future.  Some pretty some that bring back childhood memories of good times and others like the weed that are just unappreciated. 

The diary and nest together

Next to place it onto the tree. finished! Overall I'm happy with the idea and concepts behind the diary. 

Communication (diary)

Diary or Journey

Both really. After my dream with three dead family members in it, I asked myself what was my subconscious trying to tell me. I had to listen to my thoughts, fears and ideas. 

Firstly I had to fill my diary with what I wanted my future to have in it.  The eggs I'd made from my past were done. Now what things would you want for the future you?

I came up with 8.... * because 7 days of the week and one extra one for good luck and times of need. simple!

A diary is something I think is personal or secret.  To encrypt the meaning of these things I decided I liked the pronunciation text just below the word.  Communicates the same just on a different level. For years communication and people have went hand in hand. The cave art and Egyptians with they tombs for the after life etc.....Cultures and beliefs that tie into the searching I've been doing regarding the answers from the bible or meditation with regards to Buddhism. The philology and psychology have all came to this point. While I'm hopefully not taking these to the after-life just yet I do want to bring them with me into the future. To be re-born with the harmony and appreciation of my true self.

I did think about colour theory when doing the hand written type. I thought handwritten was best because it was personal to me and the act of me doing etc

I intend to add these to the back of the birds nest.. hidden away forever. Sealed with wax and resin never to be opened. It my own secret hopes and acknowledge. One that will endure the seasons of change and witness the rebirth each spring, with every visitor comes the experience of life itself.
