Whenever we start to write or jot down our thoughts, the first thing we see is the front of our book. Even though we get some really beautiful book-covers, they never seem to exhibit our uniqueness- after all they are mass-produced!!
So, I decided to re-create my book cover by painting it’s cover in my own unique style and colors! A green alternative to the usual store-bought-mass produced books. That is what typically happens- we tend to buy new items to match our varying and developing taste.

But, I wanted to repurpose something I already owned. To modify an existing book to suit my need as well as appeal to my artistic sense. Did not want to buy more items!!
This modified and stylized book cover is made with original art that is painted directly on the existing mass printed boring cover! It is made with mixed media colors and in a throw and drip paint-style.
This art work is titled 'Phoenix' indicating it is time to rise again from the ashes.
Something that says- I am ready for Spring :-)
