Sunday Postcard Art - Caravan

Our prompt this week at Sunday Postcard Art is "Caravan." Or, as we call them in the USA, motorhome or travel trailer. Also, Recreational Vehicle, or RV.

I lived full-time in my motorhome for seven years, traveling with my little Chihuahua, Katie, living off-grid in Arizona and New Mexico, just following the sun and living the dream. In 2018, I decided to put down roots again, and settled in the high desert of NM, but I'll never forget or regret a minute of that fabulous lifestyle! Here's how it felt sometimes:

Except... it was just me and Katie, not this gorgeous man and German Shepherd!

Our prompt this week at Our Midweek Muse is "Transportation, Real or Imagined."

Here are two cats - Imagined - a little female kitty driving her dune buggy along the beach and a male kitty with beautiful blue eyes whizzing by on his skateboard. Maybe on his way to the beach? 🤔

Tag Tuesday - Travel

The theme this week at Tag Tuesday is "Travel." I'm not much of a traveler, that's never been a dream for me. So I'll just go for the "City of Lights" and post a piece I created of Paris. I probably wouldn't mind traveling to Paris, France! 😁

I have a second piece for the "Travel" theme. This ship reminds me of a vessel Columbus might have sailed on. When Christopher Columbus set off on his first voyage to find a western route to Asia in 1492, he used three ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. Columbus sailed on the Santa María, which was the largest of the three ships and served as his flagship.

Art Journal Journey: What Makes You Happy?

Our prompt this week at Art Journal Journey is "What Makes You Happy?" My Dog, Charlie and my Hens, Annie, Betsy, Coco and Daisy make me happy every day, all day long.

Here's a real photo of them all, waiting patiently for treats before the hens walk up their ramp to roost in the henhouse for the night. The hens start jumping up at the screen door if I take too long.

Our Midweek Muse: View from My Window

The prompt this week at Our Midweek Muse is "View from My Window." This isn't exactly my window, but I do live in the high desert and this scene is from the high desert.

Flocks of Sandhill Cranes do fly overhead in season, and Roadrunners and Gambel's Quail families were in my yard before I rescued my dog. And the Vulture? Well... When I leave a window or door open, I do get vultures, but they are much smaller. 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 😊

Digital Whisper - Drive-in Movie

Our prompt this week at Digital Whisper is "Drive-in Movie."

Here is my artwork, the Movie Poster, a Ticket to the show and a piece of the film from the reel.

I loved Audrey Hepburn when I was a teenager and tried to look like her, same hair styles, lipstick, etc. Breakfast at Tiffany's was my favorite movie for a long, long time. In fact, the music from the movie, Moon River, was the theme of my high school Senior Ball. It's kind of sweet to have her starring in my own personal movie!
