🌿 Watercolor and Lyrics

 

🌿 What are your favorite "keep a light on" songs? The kind with lyrics which bring you joy on the darkest days.

I've had three on repeat lately:

"Bluebird" - Miranda Lambert

"Down On the Bottom" - The New Basement Tapes (featuring lyrics by Bob Dylan and lead vocals by Jim James of My Morning Jacket)

"Faith When I Fall" - Kip Moore

I used a sweet book called Watercolor With Me In the Forest by Dana Fox as a guide for painting this sweet little bird. Find all my other tools listed below.
