🎶 Love is like a grain of Sand

  015 'Love is like a grain of sand' 

from the 1982 song by Fleetwood Mac,  oh Diane

 

So, when I listen to Fleetwood Mac (as I often do) a song from the1982 album 'Mirage' called 'Oh Diane' I imagine the singer to have had a recent relationship break up and he is walking alone along a quiet sandy beach, stopping every now and again to think of what might've been, and bending down to take a handful of sand and letting it slip easily through his fingers, he realises how easily Diane slipped away from him.

 

I have added the grains of sands and the 'Love'.  Now time to paint the stencilled lyric.

🎶 On a Dark Desert Highway

 

012 'On a dark, desert highway'

🎶 Somewhere you feel free

 

011 'Somewhere you feel free'

From Tom Petty's 1994 song 'Wildflowers'

I want to do something very different today.  

I wanted to do a Tom Petty lyric.  This one is from the title track of the 1994 Wildflowers album.  

This isn't completed yet, I want to add some simple Wildflowers and try to create the feeling of a meadow in a gentle breeze on a Summer's evening.
