AUGUST COMPETION TOPIC: MUSIC

[Lucelfo]

This is my illustration for August Competition : MUSIC! a frog came to live in our homemade pond, and from this the inspiration. I used a photo transfer on paper for the background and worked it with pencils and acrylics

@lollyw
I like the movement of the cord, and the shimmery effect of the circles.

Here is mine for this month. Love everyone's entries, and very happy to give this a try again. It's been eight months or so since I've entered this contest.

My submission.

I decided to be inspired by one of my favorite musical artist, Marvin Gaye.

As for my piece, I envision myself living in harmony with the blessings that comes from God's love. On of those blessings are my wife.

Despite the person in the picture, the troubles, the darkness in them, God gives them...Gives you the opportunity to enjoy something more peaceful than what we are so that we can grow to be something inspiring for the good of mankind.

I hope you enjoy!

Here is the song and some quick lyrics since they are not online

(Cant you see you and me are meant to be)

Another first-timer/newbie. I've really enjoyed seeing all the amazing art posted! So many interpretations of the topic of music. Mine is referencing how music can be uplifting and transports the listener; literally in this illo.
