Poco Mountain Girl

Here is the latest cord burning box.  I made it for a midwife who requested a sun face (resembling a child’s face) on the bottom, with a sunrise going halfway up the sides.  The sides became more of an abstract design, and the bottom might not read as a sun at first glance.  As usual, though, I had to take a little artistic license.

Here is the reference photo she gave me to to follow:

You really can see some similarities–I didn’t completely rebel against this design. Note the swirls around the face, the shape of the sun rays, the leaves at each side.  That was close enough for me.

I used 16 different paint colors and worked for about nine post-bedtime hours, in that great state of uninterruptus maximus. For those who know, it’s the glorious time of night where you are completely alone, free, and the creative rivers flow unhindered.  It’s a wonderfully clear, semi-exhausted, right-brained feeling, one that I haven’t draw on in years.  I can feel it calling me back, although to a small degree compared to college art days (no more 4 am bedtimes for me!)
