Celebrate – IF
Celebrate to me always involves music. I mean really for me, a celebration without a song, a lyric, music, a ditty…well it just is not a celebration! So for this week, in honor of love, take the one you love, put on a tune that you can hum together, dance together or look at one another to and celebrate, because love is always a cause for celebration.
So here I’ve provided the instruments, the singer and a microphone, now all you have to do is improvise…celebrate!
Love, Happiness and Peace to you all!
Love this illustration. I’m going to take your advice and put on a Stones CD and boogie with my husband (wonder what the dogs will make of that!?).

Celebration and music are made for each other. Wondrful bright colors.
Comment by TeriC — February 13, 2009 @ 12:57 pm
Definitely a celebration going on here. Very creative and a delight. I agree with the music thing. It also gives me inspiration when I’m trying to draw or paint.

Hi! and thanks for your comments….I love your piece. It is very joyful and musical. Of course, I agree that how can you celebrate without music!! My valentine’s day will definitely be musical…Happy Valentines day!!
Comment by magdalene — February 13, 2009 @ 8:04 pm
Okay, anything centered around music and singing and you got me!!! this is fabulous and I just love it. You almost made me pee on myself laughing at your comments left at my blog. Girl I did the same thing and encourage these girls to stop sitting around waiting for your Valentine to come. Take a piece for yourself!!!! Love you! LOL. Happy Valentine’s Day my friend. I hope it’s a good one.

Comment by sandra — February 13, 2009 @ 8:47 pm
Love the art ! The fact that you love music let’s me know you love life. Yes! Music sets the tone, allows all the emotions to surface. I love to jog to “Gypsy Kings” music. Happy Celebration!
Comment by Kay Salem — February 13, 2009 @ 11:15 pm
I like the compostion; it has movement. My eye travels around the work back to the keyboard that seems to undulate. The word “pulse” comes to mind – as in heartbeat and love.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Very festive colours and image! Happy Valentine Day!!!! :)
Comment by Merlinprincesse — February 14, 2009 @ 9:48 am
I agree with you Indegene. Music to me makes a celebration special. I especially love Ella Fitzgerald. I secretly wished she was a member of my family, some aunt of some kind. I love Ella’s voice! Your drawing could be made into a postage stamp!
Comment by Ces — February 14, 2009 @ 10:24 am
I like the energy of the instruments that envolves the singer.
And the piano, is like a snake! It’s party time!
Very original! See you soon!
Comment by Monica — February 14, 2009 @ 3:25 pm
Wonderful illustration!
Also great advice about putting on a tune and dancing with someone. I’m gonna grab my sweetie and slow dance to Bobby Darin’s “Beyond the Sea”.
Have a great Valentine’s Day!
Best,
Nathanael

No one has ever heard me at karaoke and lived to tell about it. I’d much rather listen to YOUR lady sing. This is such a gorgeous piece, with the flow and the colors and all the instruments. I can hear the music in my head. Celebrate!

You can almost hear Nina Simone singing through this piece.
Comment by Rob Smith, Jr. — February 16, 2009 @ 11:28 pm
Thank you for your welcoming to IF. I am always interested in works of other artists. It’s always, in my point of view, very enriching and give me a lot to think.
Thus said, I scrolled down your blog and discovered your multiple talents, your sense of colors, your humour and your texts…

Yub! Let’s sing together, if you don’t mind my horrible voice! ^.^

Jazzy. So eloquent and fine.
Comment by Marie-Hélène — February 17, 2009 @ 5:29 pm
I like the curve of the piano keys and her full, red lips.

Comment by Flying Colors — February 17, 2009 @ 10:40 pm
lovely montage of celebratory things :) nice colours and composition, you are right celebrations are often associated with music :) I couldn’t get that Celebration song out of my head!
Comment by Shannon Melville — February 18, 2009 @ 9:48 am
Beautiful work- idea & “composition”!- I agree with the sentiment
Comment by AndyDoodler — February 18, 2009 @ 10:40 am

What a fun piece! Great concept!
Comment by Nessa Dee — February 19, 2009 @ 1:08 pm
wonderful warm and vivid illustration!
Comment by vfm4 — February 19, 2009 @ 2:06 pm
Hey girly, I know how it with posting. It’s hard and I really have no time to do this. I just have so much artwork saved up from other projects that I can post at least twice a week. It’s still not easy with a hungry husband and a daughter who says,”I’m so bored mommy!” It’s a wonder if I get the chance to go the ladies room by myself. You are doing VERY well as far as I can see I’m your 70th person! You’ve been very busy he he he!!!
Comment by vanessa newton — February 19, 2009 @ 4:33 pm
makes me wanna listen to some dixie land or rag time. great bold colors and love ur piano
Comment by michael dailey — February 19, 2009 @ 5:51 pm
