Racing Into Your Heart

“I’m not fond of small babies.

I would rather give birth to a kitten or a little pony. “

~ Marie Helvin

'Racing Shetland Foal' Day 9 ~ SE-9-25

Stay Young At Heart

Pablo Picasso once said, “It takes a long time to become young.”

This may seem lighthearted, but it's actually a deep thought about staying playful and creative while nurturing your inner child and creative spirit. Today’s sketch was inspired by this quote, “In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!” ~ Dr. Seuss See more about this drawing here in yesterday’s post.

Day 8 ~ SE-8-25

My Little Pony

As anyone who follows me online knows, I am a quote-aholic. I often spend a good deal of time searching for just the right one to accompany my artwork. Occasionally, a quote inspires me to create something, like the following one attributed to Dr Suess.
“In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!”

 Lol, I bet you can guess where this one is going! This quote reminded me of ‘My Little Pony’.  Although I never had much exposure to MLP before, and just learned that they’ve been around since the early 1980s! I found this YouTube tutorial and it was so much FUN! Why don't you give it a try? *My Little Pony ~ Friendship is magic ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=302KXlpagA0 I also followed the next video that came up. *Pusheen Cat ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG5BEoejrJw Drawing Is FUN!!

A Shetland Pony Mother And Foal

 “Many actors want to play Hamlet and Macbeth.
Ever since I became an actor, from the

very beginning, I just wanted to play a Shetland pony.

I cannot explain why.”

~ Dustin Hoffman

Day 6 ~ SE 6-25

Be A Friend

 “The only way to have a friend is to be one.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson 

 Day 5 ~ SE -5-25

Revisiting Some Friends

"Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things."

 

This reference photo can be found in a July 2011 post. I decided to flip the bird and had another go at it. I had some fun with the color combo too! It was like visiting with an old friend. I vividly remember the countless hours of sitting out among the butterfly bushes with my camera, tripod and  flashes; trying to get that elusive, perfect hummingbird shot. I think I like this little color combination. What do you think?

Love Is All

"Ah, love is old,

love is new.
Love is all,

 love is you." 

~ John Lennon & Paul McCartney

"When you find something you love, feed and nurture that passion. 

Run after it, like it's the last train of the night

and it's already starting to leave the station."

~ Sandy

It Is Happiness To Wonder

“Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.”
  ~  Socrates

 

 

 

“The invariable mark of wisdom 

is to see the miraculous in the common.”
  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Magic Things

“The world is full of magic things, 

patiently waiting for 

our senses to grow sharper.”
   ~ W.B. Yeats

 

It was a beautiful day to have lunch out in the yard among the hummingbirds and butterflies.

Relaxing and soaking in all the magic things, with friend and fellow artist, Irvane Spracklin.
