Abandoned Observatory

Did a bit of painting this afternoon, my inspiration picture above is from pinterest.

I first did an outline in pencil, then filled in the lines with a brown sharpie pen.

Adding watercolor to the windows.

Adding the rusted framework and trees.

The finished piece!

2. Would you rather have a dragon or a unicorn?
Dragon totally!

3. If you had a chance to travel to any one place in the world, what place would you choose?
Oh so hard, I really want to travel all over so I can only get it down to two places. England or New Zealand.

4. What song are you currently obsessed with?
Your Song sung by Janet Devlin

5. What are a few of your favorite characters (from books, movies, etc.)?
I absolutely love Dustfinger and the Black Prince from Inkheart, the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who and Loki from Avengers.

6. If you could visit the world of any book you've read, which world would you choose? (With the promise that you would suffer no life-threatening harm/death in said world.)
The Inkworld from Cornelia Funke's series Inkheart.

7. What's something that has made you happy in the last day or week?
Oh I saw this video of a baby penguin getting tickled and it was the cutest thing ever!!! (Sadly it was on FB, so I can't post the link.)
8. What is a piece of advice that has helped you a lot in life?
Be your self. "Those that matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter."

9. Which do you prefer: city or country?
Well I'm a country girl, so I've never really known what it feels like to live in a big city. I really do like the country though.

10. What is one of the scariest things you've ever done?Currently, just got my wisdom teeth out. Having laughing gas was really weird.

So for the sake of time, I'm going to cheat with the rules a little. If you've read this blog, consider yourself tagged! And because I liked Kelsey's questions so much, those are your questions as well.
If you do the tag, post a comment with the link below. Cause I'd love to check it out!

Pinprick Wishes

Oh to dissolve into a soft night sky

while yet the sunset is on the horizon.

To be the first pinpricks

of light to appear.

Wishes freely given.

Oh to be dark clouds 

against a darker blue.

Spreading out to touch

the upper atmosphere.

Stagnant

I have the feeling of being a stagnant pool,
watching life go on around me.
Waiting for some pebble
that never drops,
to spread ripples along my surface.
Don’t get me wrong,
I’m not unhappy,
I just feel that there
should be more to life then this…
I don’t know what.
I look back and I can’t say
I’ve accomplished much of anything.
I am not well know and have few friends.
I know I’m young,
but I am so aware of my life slipping away,
day by day.
Change affects me slowly and in small ways.
I can hardly perceive it,
waiting seems all I can do.
So I wait….for life.

Happy birthday Claire!
