For Inspire Me Thursday - "Square".
I love this song, and I have always wanted to use it as an inspiration for a painting. I don't know why, but for some reason the word "square" put together with these lines, which came to my mind immediately when I read about this week's challenge, was what (finally) started off my imagination.

OK, so I might have interpreted "square" loosely, but hey, artistic license and all that! :)

Den träffar mig med styrka, denna målning. Gång på gång gör du mig mållös. Kramar...

I think square as a state of mind, or what the word invokes in you works as a response! I like the sense of mystery that this creates.

Gisan: Tack! Den är stark även för mig... Så stark att jag målade den trots att jag hade värk i nacken och borde ha vilat. :\

Deb: Thank you! Well this was what came to mind :)
