.....you just have to get it out sometimes. : )
Here's my ode to Train's If It's Love. Some of the lyrics that got to me and made me smile:
I wanna buy you everything except cologne 'cause it's poison.
~
I love you from your toes to your face.

I love the creativity of lyricists/songwriters - I have such an appreciation for well-written songs, and another for plays (my daughter is in her very first play this year). I say, if you're inspired, pick up a pencil/pen, a stick, draw in the dirt - have fun and be in the moment.
I am trying to do so each day on this journey called life.
Thanks everyone for all of your kind visits - and for indulging me with this post (if you've read this far!)...you're the best! ~ Shirley

Me first! Awesome illustration-- wonderful lines!
ReplyDeletei LOVE it! i don't know what it is, but for me at least, music just brings it all out. i can pretty much tell what i was listening to for every piece i've done. this is awesome ... and i love your type.
ReplyDeleteSo nice! I'm loving these two birds paired together so cozily! :o)
ReplyDeleteLove it when you post calligraphic pieces!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love your post. It's so sweet. And WOW you have beautiful handwriting! xo
ReplyDeleteLovely illustration Shirley, so different to your normal work!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I read to the end! It's a wonderful illustration. Music means so much to me, as well - most especially songs with amazingly heartfelt lyrics. They are the ones that will last... Have a great weekend! Theresa
ReplyDeleteShirley, I love, love, love it, great lines and your handwriting is ridiculously wonderful, it is simplistically! beautiful! and yes I read it all too. By the way, your work just get's better and better!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you did calligraphy as well! This is gorgeous, Shirley -- would make a fantastic card or poster!
ReplyDeleteSo romantic!! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHey Shirley! Isn't it cool how music and art are so entwined? Music is so inspiring and mood changing. I think a true artist is not one who sets out to do a certain "project", but one who lets music and nature and smells direct their creativity. You certainly let love and music direct you here my friend. Great lines and composition. You are such a talent!
ReplyDeleteYes! I so agree. My ears will catch a phrase in a song and it inspires what I write, draw even conversation...which then influences my mood, my day. :) So glad you visited me and appreciate your kindness.
