Celebrate – IF

February 13, 2009

Celebrate to me always involves music. I mean really for me, a celebration without a song, a lyric, music, a ditty…well it just is not a celebration! So for this week, in honor of love, take the one you love, put on a tune that you can hum together, dance together or look at one another to and celebrate, because love is always a cause for celebration.

So here I’ve provided the instruments, the singer and a microphone, now all you have to do is improvise…celebrate!

Love, Happiness and Peace to you all!

    Love this illustration. I’m going to take your advice and put on a Stones CD and boogie with my husband (wonder what the dogs will make of that!?).

    Definitely a celebration going on here. Very creative and a delight. I agree with the music thing. It also gives me inspiration when I’m trying to draw or paint.

    Okay, anything centered around music and singing and you got me!!! this is fabulous and I just love it. You almost made me pee on myself laughing at your comments left at my blog. Girl I did the same thing and encourage these girls to stop sitting around waiting for your Valentine to come. Take a piece for yourself!!!! Love you! LOL. Happy Valentine’s Day my friend. I hope it’s a good one.

    Love the art ! The fact that you love music let’s me know you love life. Yes! Music sets the tone, allows all the emotions to surface. I love to jog to “Gypsy Kings” music. Happy Celebration!

    I like the compostion; it has movement. My eye travels around the work back to the keyboard that seems to undulate. The word “pulse” comes to mind – as in heartbeat and love.
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    I agree with you Indegene. Music to me makes a celebration special. I especially love Ella Fitzgerald. I secretly wished she was a member of my family, some aunt of some kind. I love Ella’s voice! Your drawing could be made into a postage stamp!

  26. Monica said

    February 14, 2009 at 3:25 pm

    I like the energy of the instruments that envolves the singer.
    And the piano, is like a snake! It’s party time!

    Wonderful illustration!
    Also great advice about putting on a tune and dancing with someone. I’m gonna grab my sweetie and slow dance to Bobby Darin’s “Beyond the Sea”.
    Have a great Valentine’s Day!

    Best,
    Nathanael

    Hey girly, I know how it with posting. It’s hard and I really have no time to do this. I just have so much artwork saved up from other projects that I can post at least twice a week. It’s still not easy with a hungry husband and a daughter who says,”I’m so bored mommy!” It’s a wonder if I get the chance to go the ladies room by myself. You are doing VERY well as far as I can see I’m your 70th person! You’ve been very busy he he he!!!
