My Favourite Things


Continiung today's posting binge I put up one more drawing here. It is an illustration for "My favourite things" from "The Sound of Music" which I did in early summer immediately after I watched the DVD. Loved it, and some of the enjoynment might be becuase I had been to salzburg and could recognize some locations!
`
"My favourite things" is such a sweet and cosy song!
`
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.

Is it the first time you watch this movie? I had watched it like more than 10 and less than 20 times so far I think.. That song it's beautiful, I love all the songs of that movie.
Did you watch the extra DVD with the extra material? There you have the complete story of this woman, Maria, and what happened after they runned away to Switzerland. Amazing story.

I read the real story online after I watched the film. Unfortunately my DVD did not have any extras :-( And indeed, it was for the first time I had seen it! I had missed many classics when I was young!
