Sing a song

Hello beautiful people!
How has your day been going? Did you watch American Idol tonight? I like to watch it. It makes me happy to see people picked from out of nowhere become stars. Isn't it amazing that there are these people out there with amazing talent, that have it bottled up inside of them? They just needed a break. An opportunity! That is how I feel about ebay and etsy. It is so amazing that people can be given the opportunity to be able to sell their creations worldwide! People who would otherwise be doing a job that stifles their creativity.

I was really touched by the performance of a man named Paul Potts a couple of years ago on the show "Britain's got talent". He worked as a telephone sales person and had an amazing singing voice that no one knew he had! Here is a clip of him on the tv show. I am mentioning him because I just found out he will be singing in the same building that I go to the post office! I saw the sign last week. I am going to go, and see him sing, and cheer!!!

This year there is a darling lady named Susan Boyle who was on the same program. She is such a sweetheart! I just love her!!! You can see the clip of her singing here. Isn't she awesome? I heard that they wanted to give her a makeover and she refused! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I leave you today with my newest painting.
Now go and create something!



Redhead angel and black cat are up for grabs on ebay.

I just watched Susan Boyle this morning. What a voice!! she looks like she would be a bundle of laughs.

Susan Boyle is quite the sensation. I'm glad she refused the makeover. That would spoil it all. I love your red head angel. The colors are so soft and calm. Thanks for telling us to go and be creative. I get so busy with taking care of family, house & the yard that I sometimes forget I'm an artist. It's bedtime now but I will create in the morning. I have a nice drawing I need to finish.

Bonjour Tascha! Your little red hair angel is lovely, like all the art you make. No, I do not watch American Idol but this year I got hooked on watching a French version of it, French Canadian I mean, called Star Academie. It works on the same principle but the artists are all under 24 years old. They were all so talented, it was simply amazing. And what an opportunity for all of them, even the loosers, Rene Angelil, Celine Dion's manager and husband, was the organizer of the contest and one of the judges. It was lots of fun to watch! Hae a great day! LuLu

Hi tascha,
We have kind of show in Germany too.
But we haven´t found a talenz like Paul Potts.
He became very popular in Grermany.
He is indeen a great singer.
I love your angel- painting.
She looks so absendmindet, as if she would be far away above the earth (propably she is). I love her red hair.
Have a good day
Janine

I've been hearing about Susan Boyle, but hadn't taken the time to see her until you offered the link.
I find myself sitting here crying my eyes out and blotting streams of tears with my shirt tail. Thank you for this! What a great story!
I gave your wolfie red tea party print to my sis for a gift last week. She loved it!

My mum gave me Paul Pott's CD for Christmas. Susan B has an extraordinary voice. There is also a clip out there of her singing Cry Me a River, a song she did for a local charity cd. It is beautiful.She has a talent for sure. I'm sure Pebbles her cat, would agree:)

Carolee said...

What a darling painting!

I don't have television, but watched the clip of Susan Boyle on YouTube - just amazing!

And yes - I think eBay and Etsy offer artists such a wonderful opportunity to get our work OUT there!! I still pinch myself thinking creating is actually my day job, hehe!

Hi Tascha! I'm a big Idol fan too. Adam is brilliant (there is no way he won't win) but I also love Chris & Danny! Susan Boyle is outstanding & I'm so happy for her. Good for her that she refused the makeover! She is who she is & that should be good enough.
The new painting is beautiful~love the colors! ~ Jill
