PSYCH

The Pumpkins are no more. i realized that even though i liked the picture i really didn't want to spend time on like ten pumpkins. So i have changed it to a different picture. i really like the lights and i know i want them in focus, but i have not decided if that's all, or if i want the forground in focus too, or just everything regular. We'll see how it goes.

The Jabberwocky

Lewis Carrol

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

LYRICS

It took me a while to choose this song, but after skimming through my i Tunes it was obvious. Although the lyrics are good they are mot much without the music and singing. I love this song and everything about, it also holds many memories in it for me.




Honey and the Moon
Joseph Arthur

Don't know why I'm still afraid

If you weren't real I would make you up
now

I wish that I could follow through

I know that your love is true

and deep
as the sea
but right now
everything you want is wrong,
and right now
all your dreams are waking up,
and right now
I wish I could follow you
to the shores
of freedom,
where no one lives.

Remember when we first met
and everything was still a bet
in love's game
you would call; I'd call you back
and then I'd leave
a message
on your answering
machine

But right now
everything is turning blue,
and right now
the sun is trying to kill the moon,
and right now
I wish I could follow you
to the shores
of freedom,
where no one lives

Freedom
run away tonight
freedom, freedom
run away
run away tonight

We're made out of blood and rust
looking for someone to trust
without
a fight
I think that you came too soon
you're the honey and the moon
that lights
up my night


But right now
everything you want is wrong,
and right now
all your dreams are waking up,
and right now
I wish that I could follow you
to the shores
of freedom
where no one lives

freedom
run away tonight
freedom freedom
run away
run away tonight

we got too much time to kill
like pigeons on my windowsill
we hang around

ever since I've been with you
you hold me up
all the time I'm falling down

But right now
everything is turning blue,
and right now
the sun is trying to kill the moon,
and right now
i wish i could follow you
to the shores
of freedom
where no one lives

freedom
run away tonight
freedom freedom
run away
run away tonight

To me the song is all about wanting something that you can not have because it just isn't the right time. The song to me can be steered away from just being related to a relationship which is partially why i love it. The tune is very hopeful but the lyrics are sad, this is my favorite combination and most of my favorite songs are like this. The song is all about patience and acceptance.
Here is the actual music

A-Z Call Me Boring

So i was having a really hard time trying to think of what to do for my A-Z piece, mostly because i was looking around and seeing all this edgy cool stuff people were coming up with. Finally after an almost wasted class period i decided to just pick my favorite picture, a huddle of pumpkins, and paint it because even though it's more traditional, and some may say boring, that is what i enjoy doing. However, i am still pushing myself by making it larger than what i am used to and comfortable working with. :)
Plump

This is basically what it will look like, but i am pushing the color and dynamics of the color more to make it interesting.
