Description "When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you."

Credits for the song "Fix You" to the band Coldplay.

Quite eye catching. The earthy monochrome feel with a bit of muted blue in the middle. Personally, I like the tree. Also, I see a face in there...is that intentional or am I just weird

This is a lovely piece, the colours are beautiful. I think that it could be improved by looking at more references of trees. At the moment, it looks a little (for lack of a better word) blobby. If it was more closely references, this piece could be mind-blowingly brilliant!

So did you paint this with a specific interpretation of the song in mind?

How many optical illusions did you put in?

Philliewig In reply to ThatOtherArtist [2011-10-19 02:37:22 +0000 UTC]

Not really, I tried to capture the general mood and feel of the song. It's something I try to do with all the pieces I make to songs.

Not sure if this counts, but I tried to get a dirty 'parchment'ish texture with the canvas.

Huh. I figured I was imagining the people embracing to the left of the tree, but the two black smears above it seemed more like eyes than like a coincidence.

But it's interesting- I pictured, almost involuntarily, the same colors you used in the picture the first time I heard the song. How many other people do you think saw the same colors?

I have a piece very similar to this one. I really feel the colors and the overall mood in this image. Thank you!
