Mixed Media: I Love How You Love Me

March 14, 2012 6 Comments

It’s funny how the papers you put down on a canvas can influence you when you paint it. For this one, I really liked the music papers to “I Love How You Love Me.” I also had some heart scrapbook paper, and a page from a Robert Browning poem.

Naturally, the color that popped into my mind with those papers was pink. As in, love and hearts and romance…

But after the base layer, I started thinking about a field with flowers in it. LOL! So that’s where the picture went after that. I added paint layers and flowers, and had the vision of a girl walking through a field, all confident and strong. I pictured someone who had just “been through something” and decided that she was walking away from her negative past and into a bright future.

I thought of a line in my poem “The Difference Now,” where I state “I make the definitions, and throw yours away” and changed that to “I make the rules, and throw yours away” and wrote that on her dress. I also stamped “faith” at the bottom.

Of course, I had to get Genevieve’s approval. It’s kind of a tradition now. She gave it the sniff test. 🙂

Here’s the finished version.

    I love to see your pages evolve, Cherie. I would have stopped at the pink version, but love where you took it. I guess it takes a long time to develop that sense of knowing when to keep going and when to stop.

      Yes definitely. It took me a while to feel comfortable adding things to pages.

The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

Cherie Burbach's writing is surprisingly vivid, this being her debut attempt. She can take you inside the character's mind within a span of words, all the things they're struggling with put bare before you. The prose isn't flowery, but gentle enough to nudge you into relating your traumas too, and heal as the characters do.

Loved learning more about art, and the community surrounding the people in the book. Couldn't wait for the next chapter and following the women in this story. I am hoping the author has a second book in mind, to continue the journey of Jane and Grace. I would recommend this to book clubs, so they could meet and discuss what they read and what they think will happen next.

A beautifully written story about the lives of two very interesting women who come together and form a life long bond. I love how this book is written. I found myself placed in the story like I was an innocent bystander watching each moment unfold and learning more about art than I ever thought possible. As the book ended, I found myself wanting more. My hope is that there is a 2nd book in the works so I can continue watching the friendships unfold and the lives of the main characters continue to grow!
