NEW THEME for the 100th drawing challenge



Ariane asked me to think about a theme 
for this 100th drawing challenge
not an easy task when you look at
the 99 themes we already had
and while looking at these themes
i could see a story
a story about me, so i played

while living my everyday life 
i try to balance between 
work and art and home
eating breakfast with my family
i feel like a lucky bird
when i look out the window
i see a bird and dream about having wings
i can see the garden and the first blossom
which makes me smile
after teatime we go for a ride by bike
to the woods, there are no clouds in the sky
we see the dancing shadows of the branches
with tiny little green leaves
in my head a soft whisper of a theme
a theme with rhythm
a theme about celebrating
something universal
and no Ariane, not nude  ;^))

the theme of this 100th drawing challenge
on April 27 - 28 is:
DANCE

this drawing challenge once started 
with an idea of Elisabeth
you can see the first challenge here
and
it still works the same:

a host picks a theme
bloggers who want to join leave a comment saying they are in
the following saturday the drawings are shown on the blogs 
and the host links to all the participants 
a new host is presented for the following week


so
are you in? 

like: 
Jazzy Jasmin, Céline, Ariane, Norma, Carole, Renilde,
Sara (maybe), Tania, Sue, Emily, Joanne, Susan,
Barbara, Cindi, Ritva (maybe!), Nadine, Stefanie
Petra (maybe), Kim, Kristen, Milady Stephanie
Julia and Helen and ....

  2. Uuuh, I wanna dance with you, Baby!
    dearest Patrice, DANCE is a wonderful theme for the 100th dc!... naked would a nice theme, too :))

    I get the 'balance' right, looking in the 'mirror' during trying to dance the 'letters of the alphabet'. In the 'theatre', it was in the 'City' of Berlin, I have seen the pirate's dance.... her 'body'! a fantastic 'metamorphosis' of 'monkey'... 'monster'... and like in a 'fairy-tale' she turns with a big 'smile' on her face in a 'crow'. She dived into an 'underwater life' as 'little red riding hood' and arised as 'Alice in Wonderland'... ...

    Oh, what fun! I am thrilled like in the first beginning two years ago :)

    Love
    xo Ariane.
