and this one below was the first in that series, based on - you guessed it - 'yellow'! i like how the silhouettes leave ambiguity about the emotion involved in the scene... in the clocks one, the person could be wistful, longing, or just glancing up on an evening walk to see the giant moon. the yellow silhouette could be jumping for joy, reaching for the stars, or just motioning to something (or i'm sure there could be a lot of other interpretations, depending on who's looking at it!)
these pieces came about because i really liked how my birthday party invitations i made this past year turned out, with the multicolored paper and paint backgrounds (a technique learned from kelly rae roberts' book Taking Flight) -- see them below! but with these 2 in the coldplay series, i purposely chose colors i normally wouldn't first pick - but i like how they turned out!!
i hand-delivered each of these invitations to the dozen or so invitees - it was so fun! and so was the party! most of the people that came had NO artistic background whatsoever, but a few did, and i just got to hang out and help people "play" - so fun. i need to have another one of those parties!

I have those houses you made me up in my kitchen. Did I already tell you that?
