The Color Green - Saint Patrick Day

 

 I saw a REAL artist in a video, he said if you can't get any ideas what to draw, just let your pencil make a line. Leave it. Come back and stare at it until you find something you can draw. I stared at the above line a long time and


This is what I saw...  and I decided I will draw things using the color Green

Can you see the S in the fish? 
I drew a U

and ended up here...





Be-leaf me, you look great in Green and you are the cutest Clover in the patch.
I am head clover heals for you, so lets have a sham-rockin' good time.


Coinín (pronounced kin-een or quin-in) Liam, my Irish Rabbit

Liam was a perfectly good bunny—soft ears, quick feet, and a lovely purple coat.

The problem? Liam lived in Ireland, where everything else was green.

Every morning he hopped past green grass, green clover, and even a green tractor. The sheep once looked at him and whispered, “Why’s that grape hopping around?”

Liam sighed. “I wish I were green like everyone else.”

Luckily, Liam had a best friend—a pink Irish snail named Seamus.

Seamus was very slow, very pink, and very supportive.

“You don’t need to be green,” Seamus said, inching along beside him. “Look at me. I’m pink and no one even questions it.”

“That’s because you’re a snail,” Liam replied.

Still, Liam decided to try becoming green.

First, he rolled in the grass.
“Still purple,” said Seamus.

Next, he covered himself in mashed peas.
Seamus sniffed. “Now you’re a smelly purple.”

Finally, Liam dove into a giant patch of clover. A group of rabbits gasped.

“Liam!” they shouted. “You’re amazing!”

“Really?” Liam asked. “Am I green?”

“No,” they said. “But you’re the only purple Irish bunny we’ve ever seen.”

Seamus slowly caught up and nodded. “And I’m the only pink Irish snail.”

Liam smiled. “So we’re both weird?”

Seamus shrugged. “Yes… but I think that makes us legendary.”

And from that day on, the fields of Ireland had two very unusual sights:
a purple bunny hopping and a pink snail trying very hard to keep up. 🐰🐌🍀

I am moving at a snails pace, but at least I am in the green and shell-ebrating Saint Patrick's Day, Snailed It! 
Are you Dublin over with laughter?

Love this post. Cool idea to draw a line. I don't know if I would ever see anything in them to draw though. You did good. Such a cute story too. Happy St. Patrick's Day

This is really quite brilliant, Sandra. A whole new career awaits you as an author of children’s tales, which you will illustrate in your own inimitable way. I enjoyed this post immensely. Hugs - David

‎ I had severe symptoms of ALS from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, so I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS herbal treatment from a herbal centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me. I have improved walking balance, increased appetite, and muscle strength, i feel brand-new now and healthy. Contact him for your problematic health conditions. Email: drdisuherbalcure@gmail.com
