To get this project going, I had already started with a canvas base color of light orange that luckily worked with the image above I found later. Finding an artworks color theme comes after first choosing the music. For me it is important to learn an artist’s choice of colors to better connect this art to the music. At first, my search for Adele’s live performances of Make you feel my love all showed her dressed in black. That was a disappointment. I then widen my live performance search to other songs of hers. I noticed quickly the color of turquoise in her lighting. Then I found my color jackpot in the above image from Adele’s video, of Send My Love. There was the color turquoise, but also shades of red, pinks, greens, and pale beige. They all show up in the image below.

I have a deadline of January 4th 2025 to submit to the ARC gallery call. Therefore, I physically built together both artworks for Make you Feel My Love, and Flowers. I first completed the artwork for Make you Feel. Because of my limited time, I then switched to Flowers by Miley Cyrus. Once I complete that artwork, I will return to finishing the cover music for both works.
