Welcome to Scribble Picnic! This week's theme revolves around our favourite fictional character. I chose to do 'The Flying Nun' based on an old TV series in the 60's. According to wikipedia 'Sister Bertrille could be relied upon to solve any problem that came her way by her ability to catch a passing breeze and fly. This was generally attributed to her weighing under 90 pounds (41 kilograms), high winds at the Convent high on the ocean bluffs, and the large, heavily starched cornette that was the headpiece for her habit.'
Being under 10 years old at the time, I was convinced I would be able to fly just like her, after all, I did weigh under 90 pounds. In fact, I remember testing this by jumping off my swing set only to land straight on the ground, fortunately unhurt! Childhood was fun.

Love this, and the story to go with it, thanks for the big smile! Hugs, Valerie
What you all think so in the young years and great selected and painted your picture of it.
greetings Elke
I do recall that program well and watched it with my children from '67-'70. Always have loved Sally Field and I'm happy to see she returned to the screen and the Broadway stage last year. She's been what I would call a 'real trooper' throughout her long acting career.
Your illustration is lovely Christine - and bringing back old memories for me.
Happy day - Mary
that is so cute,, what a great story and the art is perfect!
Great.
This is so lovely, Christine, and so is the story that goes with it!
Oh Christine, what a darling drawing of the Flying Nun, and I did so love that program. You were a brave soul flying off that swing set, sorry the landing was not so good. HaHa
You tell the story so well.
I have not seen 'the flying nun' just images on the web but nice tribute to the show. her hat looks like rabbit ears- very cute.
have a lovely day.
Lol Christine, I laughed at your efforts to fly...I was babysitting a family of 3 VERY rambunctious boys once and Mr. I Think I'm Superman jumped from the top of the stairs...only a sprained ankle, but my gosh, it could have been worse! Kids are so innocent, sometimes dangerously so lol! I love your artwork! :)
I love it. I remember growing up watching that show! Great job.
Hi Christine,
I am posting on Instagram today. I loved the Flying Nun - I guess it was the whole imagination thing. And I would love to be able to fly.
Blessings

A lovely piece, and I enjoyed your story too.
All the best Jan
interesting perspective :)
better to jump off a swing set than the roof :p
Glad you were unhurt. So funny.
I used to be Wonder Woman and spin around.
Also I was bionic and a Charles's Angel,
as well as Nancy Drew.
All shows I still watch, by the way.
So cute! I used to watch this show all the time.
This is fun. Everytime I see a post, I get inspired!
haha no kidding
At that age all things are possible aren't they?
Your flying adventure made me giggle!
I don't know why I've never seen that, kinda wacky idea for a show
what a lovely and interesting character you painted from you childhood fascination my friend!
i believe you can fly just like her through you imagery which you display in your paintings :)
Oh my Goodness, I remember the Flying Nun and Sally Field. She was an awesome Nun and is still a wonderful actress. I don't remember how old I was when it was on, but apparently old enough not to be tempted to fly off my swing set. So glad you weren't hurt, Christine. This was a fun choice and your painting is perfect :)

Nice sketch! Love the perspective.
Oh she's wonderful! She really does look like she's midair. I'm glad you didn't get hurt in your flight test...
Wonderful! This brought back memories! I used to love watching The Flying Nun...Sally Field was perfect for the part. Even before The Flying Nun, I always wanted to fly too...maybe that's why I love watching birds so much.
I love this and as noted, Christine on your IG, not as familiar with The Flying Nun before but definitely heard it adn now need to find a few episodes online. Sad to think that likely, if it's about a nun, you wouldn't even get such a show like that today...unless they were one of those1 in 20,000 priests who happens to be truly awful.
I loved your story with this too. Really personalized your lovely rendition. So fun to meet her for the picnic. Thank you!
Precious! Perfect sally field character! Excellent job! Love it!
Peace Giggles
