Flying Above

I starting taking a water color course in hopes of painting better flowers. This was from a value study. I learned quite a bit about soft edges and trees. This painting brings up so many emotions about beauty and being alone. I thought that it paired well with this Irish Tune that Joe Donavan sent me. 

"The Parting Glass"

Of all the money e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever did
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is fair maid in the town
That surely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts e'er I had
They wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
