Good King Wenceslas – Curious as a Cathy https://curiousasacathy.com Enjoying life through music, doodles, & pix Mon, 12 Apr 2021 17:38:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 65600115 Blackmore’s Night https://curiousasacathy.com/blackmores-night/ https://curiousasacathy.com/blackmores-night/#comments Thu, 19 Dec 2019 11:00:00 +0000 https://curiousasacathy.com/?p=39592 Rain’s Garden hosts the weekly art prompt, Thursday Art Date with Rain. The theme for this week is ‘Holiday Stories, Carols, Verses‘. While I stewed on that, I found inspiration by a new band discovery, Blackmore’s Night. What I like about this group is it has a celtic feel. I’m not sure if all their mewsic is like this but the below songs have a bit of Irish flavor entwined in the melody. Listen and see what you think. 😉

If you liked these two song selections, then you may wish to listen to Blackmore’s Night Winter Carols album (approx 42 mins) on YT. Just hit play and busy yourself in your holiday to-dos. 😉

Now for my Thursday art sketch of the true Christmas story that changed the world, Baby Jesus!

 

I used this Draw So Cute YT tutorialas a guide to create my Procreate illustration. 

 

Do you like to color?  A couple of weeks ago, I shared a website where you can print or color online.  When I was kid that was a favorite past time but you don’t have to be little to enjoy the fun.   The Internet is full of free resources. You might want to check out these webpages: Easy, Peasy, & Fun,  Coloring Page for Adults, Happiness is Homemade (for adults & kids), & U Create Crafts for some relaxing fun.

I don’t do much coloring anymore other than when I sketch on my iPad. If you like to doodle or you if you’d like to encourage the artsy side of your kiddo(s) then try a few of these simple designs: Easy Instructions for How-to Draw Santa, How to Draw a Christmas Tree, and How to Draw a Nativity Scene from the word Xmas.
