Reason Behind What I Am

Laying on my stomach, I look at the prompt and wonder what to write. There is the whole story about how God created me, but that doesn't define what makes me me. I think it goes back to my past and that winds its way to who I am today.

Let's begin with my fascination for dragons. I see them flying around in the air on a daily basis. What would it be like if I could ride on one of these dragons one day? Never know what might catch on fire. The beauty of their scales to their majestic wings is a challenge to capture in a photo since they're so huge. I've always had this fascination since I was a young girl.

Then there's fish swimming around in lakes and oceans showing off their expertise in swimming. Some are bred for being fancy while others are normal. There's the native Violet Go by to the Koi originating from overseas. They swim among mermaids and fill the water with music.

Only during spring and summer can I see butterflies fluttering through the air. The tiny feathers of different colors shows off in the sunlight as if a tiny little rainbow is visiting my yard. Of course, not meant to be confused with fairies and dixies that could come wandering around. What a colorful pattern to throw onto a piece of paper.

Playing in band and showing off my musical talent gives me energy and courage to do other things. The importance of being in good shape is a factor in how well I did. I could play a saxophone or a bassoon. Years have passed without practicing I'm growing quite rusty.

An artist is who I really am and still trying to capture moments in time on a flat surface. Practice makes perfect but experimenting is a must. I don't do Paint on the computer much but hope to find a way do also do digital art too. I love listening to music along the way, rocking it out as I draw. Creatures and animals is my favorite topic and, yes, I can be good at drawing people and still life too if I had the time to do it. A fidgety person would mess me up, but a still person would result in the best outcome.
