in the mood...

I'm in the mood for a melody....I'm in the mood for a melody...

I'm in the mood.  :)  I love that Robert Plant song.....love it.  It makes me feel like...I'm at the beach...just chill.

soaking in some rays....

I think nothing- I mean...no other song... makes me shine like the sun....like this one.


I have upgraded....everything.  I am using Daniel Smith watercolors, which blow my mind....

I even have better watercolor brushes....and in a previous post, I mentioned how, I use really cheap...crayola brushes....they are completely fine.  :)  in fact, I just found some really awesome crayola ones...which totally look like other nice watercolor brushes.

but anyway...I upgraded my brushes to some Robert Simmons brushes...I'm not sure I notice the difference...

I have even used Arches paper....expensive stuff....and one of my favorite watercolors was on cheap cheap paper...and the other was on multi-medium paper....not even proper watercolor paper.

but...you know what....the thing that matters the most to me.....when painting....

chocolate.  and music.

both...put me in a mood.

a mood to paint. :)    some good....chocolate...I think....a 46% cacao....beautiful....and some awesome music.

This sketch today....completely captures me...how I read....hand....always to mouth.  

I'm in the mood for a melody...

I can make you dance, I can make you sing, 
fi you want me to....
I can make you dance, I can make you sing, 
if you want me to.  

Any little song that you want to sing, 
little songs that you want to sing, 
any song will do...

any little song that you want to sing, little songs that you want to sing, it's up to you....

I can write it on the door, I can put it on the floor, 
I cn do anything that you want me for, 

if you want me to, 
I can do it right, I can do it wrong, 
'cause a matter of fact, It'll turn out to be strong...

if you want me to.  

peace...and love...and chocolate and music....and Robert Plant and fairies, with really good summer reading.
