Why the crap can't I crop this thing?
So, I got this note in my inbox, this morning, informing me of a contest. I figured with my big commission coming up, I'd take a whack at it and practice my more detailed art.
The entirety of the contest is to listen to a song and draw anything that it inspires you to draw. At first- all I could think of was rain-- and then I saw my grandmother. The longer I listened to this song-- and I listened to it.. over.. and over.. and over again.. the more I saw her.
I know that's silly because it's just a sound track from a movie I've never seen before. But the last thing I remember thinking to myself about at the funeral was would she even know that we did all that she asked us to do there. We made sure she wore her nicest red shirt- her red lipstick and red roses. The women in the family were handed roses from the ones from her casket. When I got mine- I just broke down. I kept looking at it never wanting it to die. I would be taking it home with me-- almost as a piece of her. I put it in a baggy and wouldn't part with it on the plane trip home. I kept thinking that as long as I had it- she was there with me. She wouldn't let anything happen to me. I had entrapped my grandmother's spirit in this rose.
This is what I saw when I listened to this music.
lol I'm a wreck right now typing this. I feel so funny laughing at myself as tears just flood down my face. Anyways.. this is my attempt at the contest that was sent to me. I hope it stands a chance.
