This week’s art prompt is birds and sky. I don’t gravitate toward birds when I sketch but I’ve drawn a few since picking up my pencil in 2017. Today, I’m following this YouTube tutorial to sketch a relatively simple scene of a bird flying in the clouds. I took the liberty to add more to my background. What do you think?
This week’s Thankful Thursday I am thankful for music. Music is medicine to my soul. In times of trouble I find comfort with contemporary Christian songs. I’m reminded that God is at the wheel. The bible is full of reference to making joyful sounds to the Lord and singing praises. Martin King said, “Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy, for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.” Even secular music is beneficial to one’s emotional and physical health. It gets you moving and takes your mind off current events. Right now I want to share a new song I found by Jonathan Traylor, I Trust You. The lyrics say it all!
I’m going to squeeze in Tuesday 4 since I thought there weren’t going to be any more questions and didn’t check back on Monday. *sigh* It’s just been a hairy week.
1. My dream house is?
A place like this might do. I can’t tell if it has a garage or what kind of view it has but the yard looks fairly level so if there’s a nice view and a garage then I can see calling this place “Home Sweet Home”.
2. My dream car is?
I’m not much for “dream cars”. We got a Toyota Avalon (2019 model) at the end of November 2018. We had intended to get another Camry but after test driving it we were disappointed and decided to look at this gorgeous Avalon that arrived only three days earlier on the lot. The dealership wanted to meet their end of the month quota and made us an excellent deal. This is the nicest car we’ve ever owned!
3. My dream vacation is? I wrote about our New England vacation in 1989 a few years back. To take another trip like that would be my ideal dream vacation and we hope to do that this year if all goes well.
4. My dream life is? As long as I’m with DH then I’m living the dream life but if we had tons of money then I think it would be awesome to travel around the country, maybe into Canada with our luxury RV. Just look at the inside of this one.
DH has a friend who has a nice RV, so I know these big things aren’t easy to drive especially when traveling tight roads. That I wouldn’t like but it would be fun to see the country in your home on wheels without Cousin Eddie of course. 😉
I wanted to join Kat’s Writing Workshop today but I failed to check back in time for prompts. I’m in hot pursuit to find social media alternatives to Twitter and Facebook. Not to worry, as I mentioned I won’t be deleting my FB account anytime soon with many friends and family still there. Big tech companies have overstepped their bounds with censorship. Clearly they are biased with their heavy censoring of conservatives but enough about that. I’m ready to fly like a bird over to Rain’s Garden to browse through the gallery of artistry and you’re welcome to follow along!
Tomorrow is DH’s off Friday but I won’t leave you empty handed. Stop by to vote in my 2021 Round 3 BoTB with some Friday Sillies. Have a doodletastic day! X💋X💋, Cathy
