Please, listen to the song it was inspired by.
It also took a great deal of inspiration from the photos used in the slideshow.
There were supposed to be some mountains in the background of my painting, but I could only find our smallest, cheapest set of watercolors... the set that doesn't have black OR white, so I couldn't get the grey shade I wanted. I also had to piece together two scans because the picture is so big, and I attempted to make the seams less noticeable but you can still see them. Also, as a result of having to use two scans, I had to crop about an inch off the bottom. Nothing really important was going on there, you could just see more of the purple dress the ocean/earth/whatever lady had on.
I know it probably won't matter, but I posted a link to my picture on the Thomas Dolby facebook fanpage. Mr. Dolby himself occasionally updates that page, so there's a small chance that he'll run across it. I'm grasping at thin air with that assumption, but as the movie Chicken Run taught us (in not so many words) 'If there's a one in a million chance, then there's still a chance'.
Which was painfully optimistic for me to say.
Before I forget to include an explanation... the painting fits today's theme because... Well because. Thomas Dolby is one of my favorite artists that is unlike any other favorite I have. Nobody else's music has spoken to me quite the same way Mr. Dolby's has. If I ever get a chance to see one of his concerts or to meet him, I will be able to die happy. XD
Anyway, before I delve any deeper into the world of shameless fantard rambling, I should probably go figure out something to eat for dinner.
Tomorrow's theme is "heal" so... yeah. Have fun with that.
