Born To Fly, Icarus Reaches The Sun

I've finished this little project and I'm very pleased with it. I had finished a few weeks ago, but not properly. I painted something really random and horrible that served no other purpose than to be there blocking the sun. Now that it's complete it will be there serving its purpose and admired by every eye lid that opens to begin a new day.



Tomorrow morning the sun will come through and I will see my work in it's entirety. Pictures will go up soon after.

P.S. The title suggests my own opinion of the story. Icarus was flying higher and higher to reach the sun, a realisation that no-one before him had the skill or courage to do. This is a story of an Icarus who believed in himself great enough that if he was given another chance he would have made it to the sun.

Icarus Ascends

There's a needless window in my room that's oposite my bed and in the mornings the sun is reflected from the opposite building through the window into my room and straight to my face.
So my first solution was to buy a piece of material (preferably tie-dye) that would hang to cover the whole window, so when the sun does shine through it's a much nicer sight.
Getting a piece of material that a. I liked and b. wasn't expensive proved to be quite difficult. So this week I had another idea.
I've painted what I intended to be psychedlic colours onto a sketch pad using watercolour paint. The first two of four are now complete and I will have the other two finished by the end of next week. It's just ashame I won't be here to enjoy my new paintings...
