Despite the return to teaching high school art this week, I managed to complete my entry with time to spare. 100% iPad Pro with ProCreate/Word.

Alright, well it's 4 in the morning here in my part of the world, and I'm just going to be done with this piece. To all who have helped me hone this piece into what it is, thank you for walking with me as I've learned through this project.

I present, "Kindred Spirits:"

@davidingalls I love this! Earlier in my life I was a musician playing the college market in the U.S. Somehow that evolved into a radio career and I always missed playing music. So now, whenever I get the chance, my friend and I play French instrumental ballads on sidewalks in whatever city we find ourselves in. She plays mandolin and I play accordion. We don't do it for money. We do it for the atmosphere it creates for those who pass by. I always hope that there is someone hearing us in the distance, not knowing where the music is coming from, and somehow being touched by its magic. Especially if it manifests itself as romantic magic. Thanks for the dreamy artwork you have created. It just brightened my morning!

@naters-calderone Great job communicating the frustration with learning an instrument! Looks like my 7 years of classical guitar!

@gary-wilkinson Great, as always

I just want to say that this is the friendliest group of competitors I have ever known. Not only is everyone very supportive of everyone else, but everyone is so very (amazingly) skilled and talented. The camaraderie expressed in this forum and because of this competition is (or should be) a template for all competitions. (Note: I am refraining from using the word "politics").

Here’s my first ever submission to these monthly competitions. I just got Procreate and I decided to do an entry and learn Procreate.

@chip-valecek love how you worked the music notes into it

@eunji-jung thanks! One of my favourite sounds

[MissMushy]

@suzanne-davis thanks! Wasn’t sure if it was too subtle so thanks for noticing!

[aaimiller]

Also a newbie around here. Below is my submission for the August MUSIC competition. Going for some vibes of summer. Also trying to practice a pose with a head tilted back (always gets me).

All the submissions look fantastic!
