Song-Paintings

I did "Fool on the Hill" and others when I was little. And I love illustrating my poems and songs. But it's been a while since I did a whole batch of song-paintings on other people's songs.

Kiss the Sky. (Hendrix is the poem. Which explains why he's also a poetry book.)

Ashes on Your Eyes. For which the poem form is Mary Oliver's "I Looked Up."

Sisters of Mercy. Leonard Cohen's lyrics are poems already. But I don't know why this painting, which was meant to be of three naked ladies, came out as a landscape. Maybe this one warrants a retry. (Edit: Oh, right! The song opens "The sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone." So the singer is standing in the middle of an unpopulated landscape going, I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone—wait, no I'm not.)

Also: there, I fixed it. Salomé, retouched.
