Watercolour and pencil. Created in collaboration with my son Andrew. (Andrew drew the excellent ‘69 Mustang!), for the Musically Inspired Artists, What’s in a Name challenge.
I chose Mustang Sally as my husband is a very talented guitarist and singer. At family parties, he is always asked to sing this song.
My aunt’s insist on singing the chorus and always change the words to "ride, Ali, ride!
God bless their naughty souls :)
