Music festivals and fun all summer around the world, posted by Gloria Poole,RN,artist of Missouri

This is a simple sketch I drew in chalk experimenting with tinted cardstock and I photographed it on my portable drawing board. It was also posted to another blog of mine at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com. Those are my fingers on left edge. It is merely to remind you this post is about music festivals and family festivals happening around the world. I cannot write about all music festivals because they're everywhere but I write them here as I receive info of them into my inbox. My art I make is copyrighted so read that statement at end of post. Music festival information :

April festivals:

1) April 25-May 6th: "The Lambton County Music Festival, a sign of spring in Sarnia-Lambton [Canada] for nearly nine decades, is set to run April 25 to May 6.

This year marks the 87th edition of the annual music festival where musicians, singers and choirs will be scored by adjudicators during performances held over two weeks at five locations around Sarnia.

It's billed as the longest running Canadian music festival operating independently from other charity funding or service club sponsorship.

Festival programs, $3, are available at Van Goozen Music in Sarnia. There's no charge for admission to the weekday adjudication sessions, but donations are accepted....There are close to 500 entries this year, Nichols said.

“Which is terrific,” he added.

“I'm really pleased with that number.”

They will compete for cash prize and trophies, and several will be selected to perform at the annual Festival Highlights Concert, set for May 17, 7 p.m., at the SCITS auditorium."

Spring Music festivals are alive and flourishing, posted by Gloria Poole,RN,artist of Missouri, USA;Update

This is a simple drawing to remind people that music festivals are happening everywhere all over the globe this spring. I drew this on 30th March 2016 first in pencil then painted it wiht acrylic and it's on 6 x 8 inch watercolor specific paper. I turned one of the notes upside down just for fun. I signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it.That is my hand on the lower edge of paper. I photographed it on my portable drawing board. Copyrighted. The information about some fun times coming up is posted below.

The idea that we the human race should sing and praise is from The Holy Bible:

"...And to stand every morning to thank and praise THE LORD; and likewise at even[ing]" I Chronicles 23:30

" I will sing unto THE LORD for HE hath dealt bountifully with me. "Psalms 13:6

This is my selfie [Gloria Poole,RN, artist] in spring 2014 but I look the same except that I am thinner and my hair is longer but I still put it in lop-sided pony tail when I walk about or create art to prevent hair from blowing into my eyes or into paint.That is also me that you see in the "about me" box on right side of this blog and I am wearing a dark grey winter wool hat because that photo was taken of me in state of Georgia in Jan 2010 and my family in Georgia saw me wearing that hat and so did other people.
