Project VII) Paint a Song

"Through the various types of art we are all able to connect with one another. Whether that is music, drawing, painting, or even printmaking."

I have long had a connection with nature, animals, and the mountains. i would never pass up a camping trip spending time outside, listening to country music, and watching the wildlife. This painting was inspired by the song titled 'Rise' by Caroline Jones. I have always loved country music, as it is my favorite genre, but Caroline's songs have long stuck with me. 'Rise' reminds me of my long time dreams of wanting to own a horse. I still long to have a horse, farm animals, and a large garden on a nice plot of land. The assignment was of course paint a favorite song, but I also painted one of my favorite places: the mountains. The medium I used was watercolors, which was my first time actually painting a 'real' picture so to speak with watercolors. ​
