'Jewel Of A Lifetime' is part of The Songs Series, worked in 2004 in collaboration with Steve Tugwell, from his first CD. This is the third generation of the song, 'Jewel Of A Lifetime'.

I'm not waiting for my embedded gold jewel of a lifetime
And I don't mind a little anticipation in between
Day and night, work and home, it's a journey, a frantic passage
It's unreal and I'm getting older than you feel, getting older than you feel.

When I worked with Steve's songs, the first generation was to do all of the songs on Sleep. They came up to be worked in a different order from the way they were listed on the CD. When I mentioned that to Steve, he burned a new CD in the order they came up for me, and we both felt the CD was stronger in the energetic order they came up to be painted.

I chose foamboard as the support for this Series so that I could emboss the surface before and during painting, giving it additional texture and depth of interest copyright 2004; Loree Harrell
