Dear You Acrylic Abstract Jodi McKinney 24×36 on Artist Canvas
Dear You.
“I always felt like you’ve known me,
I thought of you when I got lonely,
Now there’s nothing else I can do,
This is me reaching out to you.”
As I was painting and listening to one of my favorite new artists, Lucy Spraggan one evening this week – this is what happened. It’s quite large – 24″ H x 36″ W – and done completely with palette knife and acrylic paint from the tube. This young lady’s music and lyrics touch my heart and soul, and this is my response as I listened and painted. (Thanks to Colleen Brown at The Chatter Blog for introducing me to Lucy!)
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Jodi, I look at this painting and feel so very much. It’s as if the music and the emotions of what you shared are all living there. ♥️

Yes, really. Maybe because I know the song so well. Maybe because I know some of your story. I am not good at ‘interpretations’ so to speak. But I recognize when I have feelings about something. 🙂
