Summer Art

This past month, I was honored to be asked to do the artwork for a new album my boyfriend was writing and recording. He released it last week, and I am beyond proud of his work. It was so fun collaborating with him on such an artistic level! He told me what elements he wanted and then gave me free reign..we discussed some things as the painting progressed and either nixed or ok'ed ideas. I love doing work like this and bringing a vision someone else had come to life...it's why art of all forms is so beautiful!

Head over to Steve Burgos music and enjoy some summer inspired tunes, perfect for beach days.

Summer's on my mind

I've been loving practicing my calligraphy lately. It's uber relaxing and I feel such an accomplishment when I can write any word in any font [in the three that I've learned]! It may not seem like much, but having no knowledge whatsoever prior to this, it's a big leap.

So this weekend, on a very rainy Saturday, I started playing around with watercolor lettering. I love the almost ombré effect you can create while using watercolors..and then I started using different colors, and then I used blue and it reminded me of the ocean...and then I couldn't get summer [or the idea of salt water on my skin] out of my head.

So here's to constant waves, warm water, sunny days, and soul in waves.

Lauren Bogosian Originals | Steve Burgos Music quote

Words.

Lyrics are something very special. They can create an emotion, create a vision, create a memory, and so much more. There are certain lyrics I can never forget and there are others that are just so catchy, you can't seem to get them out of your head. The ones that give me tingly feelings and make me see the world in a beautiful light, are the unique ones to me. Because of this tingly feeling, I thought to document some of my favorites. So I present to you a new watercolor collection I have been working on. A collection that can never be truly 'finished' since there will continue to be a surplus of beautiful lyrics, but I encourage you to enjoy the ones I've created, and tell me some you'd also like to see.
