I decided I wanted to make some artwork for our bedroom, we have a LARGE blank wall above our bed and I envisioned a large (36×48) middle piece with complimenting side pieces.

I pre-planned color scheme and the idea that I wanted cherry blossoms and love birds.

I then wanted to have side pieces that were patchwork-y and then as the ideas unfolded I became attracted to the idea of adding dragonflies to the side pieces. Dragonflies symbolize a change of perspective and strength.

For texture on the large middle piece, I used sheet music (that I printed from the internet) from our wedding that I crumbled and ripped and then glued on the canvas.
