Art, for a change

We got some family together and we wanted to play a game.  We each got six small pieces of paper.  The first piece was to contain a short description of a scene.  Maybe an old man sitting beneath a cactus, crying over the body of his beloved burro.  The description got passed to the person on your left who read the description and created a drawing that matches the description.  I am inexperienced and poor at drawing.  Bette Midler came to mind, as she might for you in such circumstances.

Her song explains that "From a Distance", the earth looks

From A Distance

Bette Midler

From a distance, the world looks blue and green

And the snow-capped mountains white

From a distance, the ocean meets the stream

And the eagle takes to flight


From a distance, there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It's the voice of hope

It's the voice of peace

It's the voice of every man


Copying some techniques I have seen, I can draw that:

See?  That's the scene!  Right! From a distance.  Note that the distance isn't specified.  So, here is a close-up of the scene.  REAL close:


Some days, you just luck out.  Two lovely drawings, no charge!!!!
