The current Creative Tuesdays challenge '2015 Word' is to come up with your inspiration word for 2015. Mine is 'CONFIDENCE'. And here is my sketch to go with it. It's based on one of my favourite old movies 'The Sound of Music' with Julie Andrews. Some of you will know the song she sang 'I have confidence in me'. I can always use more confidence personally. The piece is done in my art journal (5"h x 7"w) in watercolour pencil.
You know, one year we were lucky enough to visit Salzburg, Austria and we quickly drove by the actual street and house where Julie Andrews sang the song, it was a thrill.

This is beautiful, and a great tribute to that wonderful film! Valerie
I don't know how many times I've watched that movie! It's always a treat. Great sketch; a very fun piece.
I love the Sound of Music and I LOVE this sketch :)
Oh, I remember that scene from The Sound of Music.
Love that musical.
I love it!
it's been awhile since I've seen the movie
Brilliant. What a strong word and picture.
I love this absolutely!!
Confidence is a great word, and this piece exudes it! Wonderful!!
I recognized this immediately! Wonderful!
I love this picture and your word for 2015 too. I think a lot of joy will come together with confidence as shown on your beautiful and joyful picture!
WONDERFUL - both the word and the art to accompany it! xo
Great word Christine. Lovely little piece of art and very imaginative to use the Sound of Music for this. Wonderful movement in her skirt, she certainly does look confident and happy!
Oh I'm smiling at your marvelous illustration. It makes me jump with delight. That's such a necessary word in this old down trodden world. Love it.
Oh I can feel her waltzing down the street. May your year be filled with confidence.
Blessings,

So cute! She looks very happy and confident as she dances down the street, and i love the pencil shading and colors you used here. Wonderful work!
totally agree.
What a great word and you know what else, Christine I have SOOOOooo seen that confidence in your art work over this last year. You get braver and braver, tackling different picture ideas, and renditions. I love that more than I bet you realise, I really do. In fact, you pice here shows a huge level of confidence to not only draw a woman from head to toes but dancing too! It;s well done and definitely brings a smile to my heart. I hope you look at this often and remind yourself to be confident adn keep stretching and growing, knowing that you can indeed do all that is before you. You already are. :) Thank you so much for creating this lovely piece. A great word and rendition indeed. BTw, I LOVE "the Sound of Music"--it used to be played every xmas in England when growing up.
I remember the movie but I don't remember the song but that is a good piece for your word. she seems to be full of joy. I guess having confidence also give you joy. another wonderful piece for CT.
have a great day.
Your illustration is fabulous! I could hear her singing the song.;)

What a great likeness of Julie Andrews. Confidence is such a wonderful word. :-)
This is so lovely. Sound of music - itself is a masterpiece movie. "Confidence" is a great word believing yourself and all the things you can achieve when you put your mind to it.
I was looking back on this, christine, and you know, at least art wise, I think you DEFINITELY gained confidence there! Well done! you did it.
