Song

Illustration Friday Topic = Song

This is my sketchbook entry from September 12, 2003, the day Johnny Cash died. My Dad always used to sing and play his songs on the guitar, I remember the night my parents went to see his concert at the Mary E Sawyer Auditorium in LaCrosse, WI, I was too young to go...wish I had gone as an adult as I also love the songs he recorded in his later years.

Simple...

Illustration Friday Topic  = Simple

If someone else were pulling the strings

it would be a Simple life...but boring and uninspired.
