Description This was inspired by a new song of Mayday, called '開天窗' (open sky door? check it out on [link] ). It's a very happy song, and whenever I played it in my playlist, I kept thinking of painting a picture with it's lyrics, all bright colored and with a children illustration look... so yea! To think that I should be doing my homework...... >_<

Done with watercolors and color pencils, 22-08-2008 (hmm.. maybe should have tried oil pastels... XD maybe next time)

Edit: ookie, some rough translation to the song I did for those who have no idea what it meant (I'm doing a very direct, word for word translation... so please pardon me for the bad phrasing and all... >_< -

How do you put a whale into a fridge?
Just open the door and force it in!
And if you please, stuff an elephant in too!

How do you put hope in a heart,
when you are living a miserable life?
The answer is to toss the whale out,
throw your unhappiness away

Chorus:
Who said you can't dine in during the late hours?
Who said a rainbow can't grow on a head?
Who said blue is the color of sadness?
Look at the sky and the ocean!
When the wind is in your favour,
spread your wings and fly along.
If it's against you,
treat it like you're playing with the waves.
When there's no wind, allow me to
open the window in the skies

How do you create unforgettable lyrics?
Fang Wen Shan, Lin Xi (these 2 names are lyric writters) and I are wondering.
No matter how much pondering, it's impossible to even enter a closed heart.
How much intelligence do you need to solve a difficult problem?
How much tears, how much expectation,
How many people had closed their own doors and windows,
becoming rulers of loneliness?

chorus

Very well done, I'm listening to the song now and although I can't really understand it, it's got a really nice sound. *grins*

The picture fits really well into it, so your mission has been accomplished! ^_^
