The first in my Rock n Roll rebel series, A series I started dedicated to turning songs into paintings. This series didn't officially start until this year, I completed this painting back in 2014. The series took a few paintings to turn into the series it now is but I still label this one as the start, or maybe the beginning of the beginning lol. I'm a huge music fan, there's usually no part of my day where I'm not listening to music and music in turn can and is a huge inspiration to me. I listen to music as I sketch and paint and create and I often hear a song where I think "wow, I really should paint this" and that's where the idea for the series started.
The pose for this was inspired by a photo of Brent Smith from Shinedown and I turned him into a demon, sorry Brent lol As I was painting this I was kinda stumped on what to name it and then "Harvester of Sorrow" by Metallica came on my pandora. The lyrics fit the painting so amazingly that I decided to name it just that "Harvester of Sorrow"
ps. I've had the pleasure of seeing Metallica in concert, it was awesome but I had a weird guy sitting next to me that was hitting on me the entire time and touching my hand *sigh* without permission I may add but Metallica was awesome ;)
So here we go..."Harvester of Sorrow" by Metallica
Listen to the song, with lyrics, below...

"Harvester of Sorrow" Metallica
My life suffocates Planting seeds of hate I’ve loved, turned to hate Trapped far beyond my fate I give, you take This life that I forsake Been cheated of my youth You turned this lie to truth Anger Misery You’ll suffer unto me Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow | Pure black, looking clear My work is done soon here Try getting back to me Get back which used to be Drink up Shoot in Let the beatings begin Distributor of pain Your loss becomes my gain Anger Misery You’ll suffer unto me | Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow All have said their prayers Invade their nightmares To see into my eyes You’ll find where murder lies Infanticide Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow |
