Marie-Claire

Day 4, I didn't change the color of one side of the text because it was difficult to read. Maybe because of the underlying colors.
I used the OpenBook script because I like it so much. It's a bit thick for a magazine, but that's okay

@Anita Wyatt

Bella, her name suits her perfectly. Beautiful cat.

Thanks Marie-Claire. Why not get yourself some fine line pens and you will be on your way.  There are plenty of tutorials about.  Have a go.

I don't think I can draw well enough. What exactly should I look for to find these tutorials? Pen art?

How about an older rescue dog? You could rescue each other.

@Michele I thought about that too. My first 3 dogs were rescue dogs.

@Ann Seeber  Indeed, there are so many animals waiting

It's amazing what pets do for us.  Dogs are special.  You are their world.  And they are so pure of heart.  I worry too about life without animals.  If my cat girls make it to old age I will be close to 70.  I cant image life without animals. yet I worry about the same thing.  I have to say you look way younger than 69.

I have always had animals, I also wonder if I will be able to do without them.
The photo you see is from 6 years ago. I have very few photos of myself because I'm always the one taking the photos.
Meanwhile, post-covid, I decided not to color my hair anymore, and now I'm completely gray. That changes a person, I still have to get used to it.

@Marie-Claire It is interesting that those intelligent dogs are not typically used as guide dogs. I would assume they would be great at that.

 

They are very reserved towards strangers, they also do not like to be around crowds. But it is possible, and there are collies that are service dogs.
With my previous collie I always went to visit my mother, who had been in a retirement home for the last 2 years due to dementia. I also visit the other people with him, it was always a special experience how those people revived and often started to talk about their own animal that they used to have.

@Marie-Claire Love the photos of Poncho, he is such a great model and your photos show your love for him!

Thank you Corrie. Yes I love him so much, as much as my previous collie. They give so much. Thanks to my previous collie, I came out of a severe depression without any other help.
Now, I fear this will be my last dog, although I fear I will have a hard time without such a friend. But this year I will be 69 years old, I hope Poncho will stay with me for a long time. But then get a dog again?...then I think, what will happen to that animal if something happens to me. Hospital, or not being able to go outside anymore, or what if I were no longer there.

I don't know what happened, guess it was too late for me .... grrrr but I just discovered I "killed" my final version of purple rain ?.
So I add the first try.... where I began to paint the face....

 

That's bad luck that you now have to start over, but this one is beautiful, so you paint the face yourself ? ?

... ups Marie-Claire, you had the same song in mind and you were quicker than me. I did something too. 
When Julie dedicated her picture to Jimi Hendrix and Purple Haze I immediately thought of Prince and Purple Rain.

Would that be OK for you if I placed my picture too?

Yes certainly, that is not a problem here. I'm curious what you made ?

Marie-Claire, WOW, what a great angle of Poncho and beautiful composition.  He looks so regal.  

 

Thank you ?
