This is part of my 'A Common Metaphor' series of paintings, from 2020, mostly done during lockdowns. The colour palettes for these pieces are inspired by imagined landscapes and the sky. The naming convention I used for them is that the titles are song lyrics. The reason for that is because the inspiration behind the series itself was noticing that the weather is a common metaphor for happiness in music: especially in relation to the sky / the sun / the weather. The titles are in lower-case because it communicates the opposite of upper-case; where capital letters have a shouty effect, lower-case has a quiet confidence.
