Art and Caedmon's Call


I was sitting in drawing class the other day listening to music. It was the first day I had remembered to bring my iPod to class. It is a good thing because we sit and draw still life's for two hours at a time. It is pretty boring when you are just sitting in silence, which is the way it goes.  But I brought my iPod to class and wow did it make a difference.  I chose to listen to Caedmon's Call. 
 
This band will always hold so much meaning.  I can remember living in Greenfield when I was about 5 or 6.  Dad had a wood shop in the basement of the girl's dorm (which sadly is no longer there :( ) and he would always be playing Caedmon's Call, on a cassette player. I would go there and help him, although I am sure I was not all that much help. I loved going there and smelling the wood and singing Caedmon's Call with my Dad.
That is why this band will always hold a special place in my heart. 

So the point of this whole reflection is to tell you that as soon as I turned on my iPod the drawing just started t flow and I was no longer bored with it or dreading drawing this Still Life. It became a little bit fun!

Other than that things are good here, had a little break down the other night but I am doing alright now! =) 

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

oh and if you have not listened to the newest CD by Caedmon's Call-go out and buy it. You will not be wasting your money! :)
