Day 4: Where Magnificence is REALLY born

We are so close to done!! It’s like that feeling I get when I’m closing in on the last few pages of the last chapter of a massive novel, fingers flying, mind rigged high on adrenaline, the swelling orchestral music of the Lion King finale song (this song, at 4:21) playing in my head. It’s that fast flying exhilaration of nothing but pure success.

The spirals are done. There are stars. There are planets that look like planets, planets that are actually perfect circles! — we decided to be smart, proactive, efficient for the first time in 4 days on the project and used the rims of paint mixing buckets as stencil guides. There are silver and white splatters and shooting stars and comets and all the brilliant, glorious things!
This is where we can taste the finish. This here is the culmination of a piano interest rescued out of countless tear-soaked hours of practice and years upon years of drawing and painting lessons. This is what it looks like to put everything aside (spring break, relaxation, sleep, time, money, JHU schoolwork) to something you truly love. And we are so close to doing it.
These were taken off of Esette’s camera, because her camera does amazing things…
