IA Pablo Picasso Challenge
I decided to post this even tho I didn't meet the deadline on Inspiration Avenue's Picasso Challenge. The original photo is such a fabulous image...the credit goes to the photographer not myself. It was great fun playing with colors and filters to see what I could come up with from this great black and white photo.

IA Tropical
I had been using mostly digital images for the collage look since I started my blog. Then I decided to add my own drawings and now I have added colored pencil to the mix. Tropical Thomas showed up very quickly in my initial drawing. But once I picked up the colored pencils I got lost in the layers of color. I used many many layers of color to achieve each color. He does look quite pleased with the results doesn't he! :)

IA Roald Dahl Challenge
credit: art freebies
After a bit of research I found this portion of a poem by Roald Dahl that I found amusing...especially after I found this old post card image! Aren't these ladies delightful!

IA Spring
.
Spring...the hopeful season...sunshine, blue sky, fresh breezes, kites,
children playing, lilacs, ducklings, butterflies, tulips, daffodils, bees,
lambs, green grass, dandelions...
This image was a bit of a new adventure for me as I did more 'painting'
with brushes in PSE 8. Starting with the line drawing I painted by adding
bits and pieces of photos and then filling in by brushing on layers of color
in the remaining areas. I am especially pleased with the way the little
girls dress turned out using a cut from a chintz image. :)

Isn't it lovely to do nothing and then rest afterwards?
