Hello everyone!
I'm Paintergirl and I live near the Hudson River in New York across from Bear Mountain. I am a mommy, wife, artist and the fixer of all things.
I am very excited to be the "Getting to Know You Day Host" for this month of May. Thanks Melba!
I am a huge movie and music fan, and I'm always curious to know about other people's favorites.
My first round of questions relates to these forms of creativity.
I want to know what book, movie and song not only changed your life, but also changed the way you thought about the medium. It could have been when you were a child or a teenager or just last week. Anytime in your life.
I will give you my music answer just so you have an idea.
I lived in a very music loving household which was wonderful. There were many different age groups and therefore different types of music. Thankfully I had 2 older sisters who had good taste and I listened to all of their records and 8 tracks. (Yes 8 tracks)
The one song that changed it all for me was "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. I was 8 and I must have listened to that song 1000 times as I laid upside down on my sister's bed. Not knowing as a child the words to describe it I can only remotely try to remember those feelings I had when I listened to it. I was struck by it's expansiveness and I really could not believe how a song could set a mood and create such a scenery for me.
Have fun. I can't wait to see everyone's answers. You can read mine here.
Peace and love
Thanks for hosting Paintergirl.
Great questions. Since it is almost Wednesday and time for new questions I will just answer here:
I am drawing a blank.
I am just going to answer with what pops into my head first:
Book: Siddhartha
Movie: The Wizard of Oz
Song: You Light Up My Life
I am not sure why right now because I should be in bed.
I just wanted to play too!
XO,
Melba
