Rain Frances Creations ... Cards

 Cards

I know Rain was not thinking of this kind of card when she chose this prompt, but I choose to go with what the word "card" means to me :)

I have, for years, chosen to make my own cards ... not only because I enjoy the process, but because it allows me to speak on a personal level to those I love.

Old Art

This is my gang of four ... our friendships range between  30 and 40 years :) 

 Life is Good!

Rain Frances Creations ... Microphone

My FH and I often watch groups perform on YouTube in the  evening ... You will note that they all seem to rely on microphones while they are performing 😁

Do you remember the Talking Heads way back when?  Now they are back on You Tube :)

New Art 

Her voice was magical.  Her life and death were tragic ...

This prompt was a little easier for me than previous prompts.

Music, of all kinds, are a big part of my life.  It lifts my spirits, brings back memories and relaxes me.  Hope you all have something in your life that serves you that way :)

Sound like anyone you know???

Rain Frances Creations ... Surfing

Surfing

I have never had the pleasure of surfing ... not sure if I am glad or not. But, at my age, I can guarantee you, it's never going to happen 😅

Signs of Spring in the air here ... only on and off, but we will take what we can get.  Enjoy your week, everyone :)

Rain Frances Creations ... Peripheral Vision

 Peripheral Vision

I know what Peripheral Vision is, but for the life of me, I can't think of a good way to draw it :( Hope you all have better luck with it than I did :)

Meanwhile, hold on to your hats because "the idiot" is taking us all for a long and bumpy ride.

Andrea @ From the Sol

P. S.  And, please don't aske me who "the idiot" is.  If you don't know you have had your head buried in the sand ...

😖

OMG!!!

 OMG!

What transpired today in the Oval Office was unforgivable, unbelievable, despicable, ignorant and dangerous ... God Help Us!!! 

Rain Frances Creations ... Clay

 Clay

When my Granddaughter spent weekends with us we would pass the time doing as many different art projects as we could imagine ... art was a big part of our lives.  Modeling clay was among our favorites.  We bought the clay that you could bake 

in the oven so they would be more permanent.

the two on the outside are clay models ...

Years later when my second Granddaughter came to live with us from Thailand, we did a little clay modeling to pass the time.

Both of my Granddaughters are talented artists, but neither of them are pursuing it in any way other than a hobby ...  a relaxing, enjoyable way to pass time.   Life, however, in the USA continues to be a ongoing saga.  It has reached a point where I am afraid to listen to or to not listen to the news, so instead, I use my art to relax ... once again, an enjoyable way to pass time.   It is good to have all of my Blog friends to keep my mind off the inevitable.  Spring is just around the corner ... a time of fresh, warm air and beautiful new life.  I look forward to it :)
