the story behind messie mood: sunshine.

Day 6.

This piece resonates a lot with me. one day I was having a sad morning and decided it was cancelled day and I went back to sleep for some more. Eventually the need for coffee out-powered my laziness. As I was pouring my cup of coffee at 3pm I looked out the deck door and saw all this brightness and sunlight. I was kinda of shocked because we’ve been having a not so springy spring so I opened the deck door and I swear it was like I was opening up my soul and mind to the power of the sun. I was instantly warmed up and awaken by the sheer glory of the sunshine.

I was so moved I had to get my hands on something to do an art piece. So I found an old canvas and started to add layer after layer. From the dark reds and purples to the slow glow of the oranges and finally to a yellow waxy layer to give it a nice dull kinda shine if there’s such a thing. Then I choose an old satin scarf I use to wear for school. I tore it apart and smothered it with all the anger I had inside me on to it making it a sheer red. Then for a piece that really stunned me.. the face. I decided on a plastic layer to showcase that sometimes stuff happens and you think it’s trash but it’s really not and it can be recycled in the end to make some sort of master piece. Then the eyes. They spoke to me so earnestly. They had to be sunflowers because they are the flower of the sun. This whole mood is sunshine so there definitely needed to be glasses. But not just any kind of glasses, glasses that are a mirror to ones soul. So when you look into it you see your true brilliant bright self in a yellow hue. Then the lips. I had to have a metallic rbf vibe going on here. Because I’m always asked why I have such an annoyed or mad face and being told to smile more. This speaks to me that even when I have my face on there’s going to be sunshine.

The Before: I put on a good playlist while I sipped on my coffee under the sun and took out my notebook and started to doodle. I was drawing myself and cutting out different shapes because I love working with different mediums and creating a mood board using my own postcards and my own thoughts when suddenly the lyrics came on and I knew “ I was going to be walkin on sunshine” for the rest of the day.

This piece will always be something special to me. Thus this piece is an aura of me - something I always aspire to be - sunshine and light and warmth. but sometimes I’m just a true mess. And that’s kinda okay. So I named this piece: Messie Mood: Sunshine. Because even when I’m messie I hope to be sunshine.

So my husband hyped me up to participate in the #BeforeAfterGallery Digital Art Contest sponsored by @FootLocker.
