"I grew up in a pretty house where I had space to run and I had the best days with you."

Here is the final for my Comfort Reality project in Terri Lindbloom's Experimental Drawing class.

These are all things that remind me of home-- my family, Bella and Kitten, my comfy chair, my love of wine and photography, and the ever present scene of birds on power lines.

I used micron pen to create my subjects, which were then accented by orange, pink, and blue watercolor.  All are drawn onto old children's books that remind me of my past.  

So, I think this calls for a little song that reminds me of home:

"I have an excellent father

His strength is making me stronger

God smiles on my little [sister]

Inside and out

[She's] better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house

Where I had space to run

And I had the best days with you

There is a video

I found from back when I was three

You set up a paint set in the kitchen

And you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships

And the seven dwarfs

Daddy's smart

And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world"

-The Best Day by Taylor Swift
