Prompt #5 - Create something inspired by a favorite poem
So, this is tied to the painting with the black paint all over it for "Express Your Feelings." I'd planned to do something based on Carl Sandburg's Fog Poem (it creeps in on little cat feet) or Robert Frost's Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening or I Took the Road Not Traveled By (which for some reason, I thought those were all one poem until I doublechecked. Want to do stuff with all 3 at some point - BUT, all of the sudden, Maya Angelou's poem that she read at O'Bama's election (when many of us were joyous and hopeful) "And Still We Rise" dropped into my head, so I had to do something with this after all. Tried to wash off as much of the black paint as possible, so some of the original would still shine through (as in hope, not giving up, etc.). I used acrylic paint, markers, LOTS of glitter. Still not happy with the end result, need to tone down the neon yellow in the lower right-hand corner. I went overboard on the colors and glitter on this - it was almost a desperate painting, is my only excuse.
